Quiet"er" record cleaner?

Thats interesting, never really considered the possibility of build my own or using my own vacuum. Definitely going to look into that, thanks!

The reason I was interested in this is manly because of the sheer quantity of records I clean on a regular basis. I work out of my apartment an I pretty much spend all day listening to records so in turn I build up a fairly large amount of records in need of cleaning. If I was only doing a few at a time then it wouldnt probably be a probably for it to be a little loud.

I have never cleaned a record in my life. I don't even use a dry brush. I have never felt any reason to. I just blow dust off the stylus and use Magic Eraser.

Czar has a good idea.

I built my own based on a German industrial unit from ElmaSonic. The 80KHz setting is best. But it does radiate a lot of US noise, which most people cannot hear. Nothing against my 16.5, but the US is FAR better.

All vacuum cleaners are loud. They use cheap parts. It is the way it is.
When you want something civilized you have to go for a point nozzle design (Keith Monks, Loricraft) or Ultrasonic. But these units have their price. But a lot of users use a wet towel and tell the world that this is the ultimate solution. Green power counts ... :-)

I mean when it comes right down to it, just dry off with a soft, lint free diaper type cloth. Spin Clean sells then separately. I have used these after a wet clean on my 16.5. Records get dry, and the dead still sleeps.
