Select what you want in a record cleaner. - Convenience in use and storage. You shouldn't need a separate shelf, elaborate motions or an act of Congress to clean your records. A comfortable, hand-held instrument that works best on a rotating turntable is ideal. - Effectiveness against micro-dust. Tiny, invisible dust particles hide in delicate record grooves and can be ground into the vinyl. Only a slanted (directional) fiber using special ultra-small fiber tips can scoop up, rather than rearrange, this micro-dust contamination. - Effectiveness against chemical contamination. Fingerprints and vapor-borne oils will deposit into channels of a record groove. Such contamination hides from adhesive rollers and all dry cleaning systems. Only a special fluid plus micro-fibers can safely remove such audible, impacted deposits. - Total removal of contamination/fluid. Capillary action-the lifting of fluid by small fiber surface tension-is totally effective. You want to get contamination off the record, along with any fluid traces. - Lasting construction. You want quality. A record cleaner can last a lifetime. A plastic wonder can crack into oblivion--or you can purchase the hand-rubbed elegance of milled walnut befitting the rest of your audio system. - Ultimate economy. The value of a truly fine record cleaner is justified by the cost of replacing your record collection. Fifteen dollars is a small investment in long-term protection. - All of the above.
