    Cleaning records with GLUE? Crazy!

    This may not be new to some of you, but I had never seen it, came across it by accident. Cleaning your records with glue.

    been around for a while, actually.
    and no, i do not recommend the process.

    i have read some technical articles recently & it seems the latest trend towards ultrasonic cleaning may be one of the most effective yet.

      I'm not a fan of the glue method , either. I just don't trust that the chemicals involved won't come back to bite the vinyl later. Silly Putty , on the other hand.....

                      Cleaning Vinyl records?

                      Hey all,

                      I'm curious as to how you all clean your vinyl records?. What do you use? Do you use a solvent at all? How do you remove dust off your records etc?

                      I'm especially interested in DYI home made solutions and techniques to keeping your vinyl records clean and dust...

                      Hi All, okay firstly I am a every several years poster when I set upon a new speaker project. First it was to debate with ThomasW about the merits of the Stryke 15.2 PR design (kind of stupid of me but I was younger and stupider) then briefly about the Adire Extremis and now I've stumbled on the Mini-states...

                      There's not enough subwoofer love right now, so I present you my crazy IB install.

                      Not sure if many remember, but a few months ago I mentioned I was exploring using some 18s in an IB setup. I wasn't looking for more SPL, but I did want to dig deeper. I wanted to shake things not worth SPL,...

                      by Russ L
                      I just checked out Peter Gabriel's label Real World Records and theres a large selection of world music. I know that his label uses excellent ADAs from Prism Audio. The same as used by Lord of the Rings @ Apple Studios and at Chrysalis Records. Has anyone bought CDs from Real World? I also listened...
