Record cleaning machine

I had a monks machine and I was completely satisified for years until the disc doctor cleaner. For about 65 dollars you can get records so clean that it will put any (and I mean any of the cleaning machines) to shame. I had over 1500 dollars worth of equipment for cleaning my records. I have since sold all of it. The disc doctor is that good. I would take the money you save into new records. When you hear what the disc doctor cleaner can do you will never go back. It is available through www.mediaacc.com .

The Keith Monks machine was good in its time but it's ancient, and the only one I klnew about was always broken. See Michael Fremer's discussion of record cleaning machines in the current Stereophile: he covers Nitty Gritty and VTI and doesn't leave much unsaid. That's where you should start.

I owned a Kieth Monks years ago. It broke all the time. I replaced it with a VPI in 1988 which I still own and use all the ime with used records.
