I recently acquired a Nitty Gritty 1.5FI record cleaner.
Do any of you use the Nitty Gritty's? If so, have you picked up any helpful hints about their use?
One of the things I've come across in my readings is a suggestion to manually pre-clean an album BEFORE putting it on the Nitty Gritty for the first time. After that (assuming you immediately store the record in a dust-free sleeve after playing), only normal use of the Nitty Gritty is needed for that album. The reason for this is to minimize the "gunk" that gets trapped in the brushes of the NG - cleaning multiple albums that have substantial amounts of dust in the grooves will pack the brushes quickly.
Your comments and observations will be welcome. TIA.
