PS. Different but related topic.  What is the best way to clean vinyl with simple household items?  I know they sell fancy record cleaning machines for $300, $400, etc., but I don't have access to something like this.

PSS.  Please don't laugh at the 80's child.  I have to rely on our local audio elders for a couple of crucial decades that I missed.  :dance:

There are a ton of options out there, but I ordered this http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649240538-canadian-made-rcm-3d-printed-parts-you-supply-the-shopvac/. I am currently using this DIY solution with results beyond my wildest expectations. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/record-cleaning-youre-doing-it-wrong.689430/page-17 I suggest going through the rest of the pages and get additional tips. I found everything I needed on Amazon and kept it simple. Triton X100, 99.9% IPA and distilled water.

Kyle, I would recommend you contact Jim Pendleton at www.osageaudio.com . He is relatively local, in St. Louis frequently, and is a contributing member here at GAS.

He is in tune with record cleaning. http://www.audiointelligent.com/products.htm

Spin cleans are dirt cheap, too.
