I've seen some posts on here about super robust solutions for record cleaning. I've got a relatively small collection (around 100 records), so those seem like overkill for my needs. Is the Spin Clean a good choice? It's in my price range and seems to have good reviews on Amazon, but maybe there's something even better out there that I'm not aware of.

I’ve got one and it gives great results - for that many records it’d be silly to buy anything more expensive.

What do you do when you get a record with a too-tiny-hole? Usually I can get it on and after a few listens the hole has adjusted, but I just got one that I can’t even get on a first time.

Yeah, I just usually open the blade on my multitool and twist it around the hole a few times. Usually works well enough.

Thanks. Don’t love having to do it, but got it in. A lot of effort for a Dr. Seuss record my kid chose and then lost her poo poo when I couldn’t play it.

Peas and Rice posted:Do picture discs really sound bad or is that a myth? So, generally speaking, here's what's going on with picture discs. At the center, you have a vinyl base. Then you put an image layer on top of that (cardboard of whatever). And then you put a very thin piece of clear vinyl on top of that. And that's where the music lives. And that generally ends up with a much noisier record, and more imperfections for whatever reason. Picture discs are really just novelties.

Sound is fine on the ones I have. The one thing that sucked about picture disks, back in the day, was not getting a slip or gatefold with it. Luckily, a lot of picture disks come with the jacket now, so go wild.

The red vinyl Audio Fidelity pressing from a few years ago sounds great. I would go so far as to say it's one of the finest pressings of anything in my entire collection. Unfortunately they were a limited edition. It was repressed a couple more times but those were also limited and they are very expensive now. There are a couple recent Warner Bros pressings that came out after the Audio Fidelity which are still pricey, but considerably less expensive than the Audio Fidelity release. I don't know if they are derived from the same sources or lacquers as the AF pressings though. edit: Some label I've never heard of announced a reissue but the release date is listed as "TBD". http://www.twoheadeddog.com/vangelis-blade-runner-soundtrack-lp/ CPL593H fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Nov 28, 2017 |

Any 8-bit Konami is pretty much a safe blind purchase. Looks like they’re doing an entire series of soundtracks, they just put up preorders for a 10-inch Kid Dracula next. Edit: If you regret not picking up Bayou Billy, there's a red/white splatter variant for sale at the Yetee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o39EpwvQblE Ballz fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Does anybody have any recommendations for cleaning fluid for use with the squeaky clean or does diluted dish soap work just as well?

I've used this formula and it works great. 6 parts Distilled water, 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol, and a couple drops of laundry detergent free and clear of fragrance or dyes.

I would like to start digitizing my records before my collection starts getting too large and I never want to start. I have read that Audacity is the go-to program for doing this but was wondering if anyone had other suggestions or advice for using Audacity. I use Ableton Live and could just record there but the biggest problem I see with that is I could only export as a .wav file and would need to convert after.

You can find free wav converters all over the place. I personally use CDex but that’s kind of an old program
