@QuadRaSphere Records and Radio really appreciate the feedback, but then again I have a few questions since I’m quite new to records. So a microfiber cloth goes into the grooves of a record and pulls dust out so it’s almost impossible for the cloth to push anything further in the grooves so why can’t I? Plus it (basically) will do the same thing since it’s going into the grooves. (Sorry if this doesn’t make sense I’m a little younger and my perspective of things in the world might be a bit different.)
A bit of a heads-up: The new production "RCA" Discwasher brushes are actually a poor quality semi-knockoff of the original (discontinued in the 90s) DIscwasher brush. The RCA brush appears to have a cheap bit of corduroy cloth on it with the nape of the fibers oriented in random directions, whereas the originals had a velvet cloth surface with the fibers oriented in one direction, thus the arrow on the side of the brush: The arrow indicated the direction to move the brush relative to the rotation of the record as to allow the fibers in the cloth to 'bite' and facilitate the removal of dirt and other substances from the grooves. The original and Jensen branded (Jensen owned Discwasher up until the early 90s, the brush I use personally is from the Jensen era) Discwasher brushes are the best thing to use, and apparently Crosley (amazingly?!) also makes a brush very similar to the original Discwasher, complete with the correct type of cloth with all the fibers oriented in one direction, if an original brush is too pricey on the used market.
Yeah, i have an original discwasher one and the cloth feels softer as well. Not sure if anyone notices, but the stiffer cloth can leave small concentric marks on the record. You can see it in the dead wax area if you shine a light at an angle.
1:43 I prefer the AudioQuest anti-static brush that has the metal parts at the handle. Those metal parts are connected to the carbon fiber bristles, so that the static electricity is conducted away from the record way more effectively. 3:40 The Onzow Zerodust was a well regarded accessory, until people found out the problems it causes. That gel can come loose after some months of use. It will cover the cantilever of your cartridge and really muffles up the sound slowly bit by bit. Because it's so sticky, cleaning it off is not really doable. There are plenty microscope pictures of cantilevers with that Zerodust gel on it. However, it's been discovered fairly recently and various manufacturers have promised to change the gel formula to overcome this issue. *So avoid these and similar cleaners from other manufacturers until further notice!* 5:40 If your turntable has azimuth adjustment, you can also use the bubble to set that. 6:50 Nice Michell clamp. Fancy!
@@OGCatDJMFor dry cleaning a carbon fibre stylus brush, such as the Ortofon one. For liquid, the Audio Technica AT607 stylus cleaning fluid. The specialty of that fluid is that it doesn't dissolve the glue used to mount the stylus, so in contrast to other type of fluids, this one doesn't shorten the lifespan of your stylus. That's because it contains ethyl alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol.
If I may add something that's been told me by some hi-fi and vinyl experts, don't run your fingers across the anti-static brush to dust it off. Use its handle instead.
@@jesus.e126 I'd probably brush it with another object. Avoiding using your body makes so that none of your bodily oils and fats get attached to the bristles.
I like taking the mofi sleeves and then placing them into the paper sleeves. I find the added structure of the paper makes it easier to take the record in and out, without damaging the record.
Yeah, but its getting it out in the first place. I got so cross one day trying to remove an album ended up ripping off the sleeve.🤣which is how I discovered the vinyl inserts. 😎❤✌
A suggestion for a follow-up video; record storage. Things like the best outer sleeves, the best way to store LPs including storage shelves etc. I’m sure there are many of us who’ve only recently gotten into vinyl and whose collections are now getting to the size that some dedicated storage is needed.
Hi Jared - I use most of these items, except the record clamp. Instead, I use the AT618a Disc Stabilizer spindle weight. Weighing 600g (21.2 oz), it flattens the disc, but its mass also contributes to help maintain rotational inertia. This is important because some DD turntables (like the older LP120USB) would "pulse" its motor to maintain speed, but the pulsing (called "cogging") could be heard between tracks and during soft music passages. By adding the AT618a spindle weight, I was able to eliminate the cogging noises.
I would like to say I just got myself a brand new Turntable setup (I got a Audio Technica AT-LP60X automatic Turntable with Edifier active speakers) and these accessories will definitely come in handy!! Thanks!!
There are many problems with your assertions. - Groove containing sound is not on top of the disc, so dirt on top will not affect the sound that much. But if you use those "cleaning" devices you showed, they can squish the dirt from the surface in the grooves, so you just made your record worse. These are not proper cleaning devices. - The carbon brush shall be moved from inside towards outside, not how you showed it. Why on earth do you do that? Also, it actually removes dust, the carbon fibre is there to be smaller than the grooves so it can get some dust out from there. - If you measure tracking force like you did, you'll get a wrong readout. As the height of the needle will be higher than the platter will be. There are specific devices for this, which will measure much lower height. Also, putting your needle on a steel surface will damage it. Also, 0.1g precision is not good enough, you need at least 0.01g.
A great video as usual J:-) I have whats become a large collection...mainly 45's but a few hundred LP's as well...Those RCA brushes might be good for a new record but Ive wiped 2 out on 45s alone...the first one ended up with a hole in the end...dirty 45s...which many are..need a good cleaning upon getting hard used and abused 45's. I use a good terry washcloth with plain warm water and some gentle elbow grease...you would be amazed at what you can pull from a seemingly cleaner record. LP's are harder...as they are bigger but once cleaned the usual wipedown before and after use takes care of them. As for storage...I like the vinyl/plastic lined inner sleeves usually used on classical box sets of yesteryear...it makes a huge difference over the paper ones. As for bulk storage...ive bought a ton of wood cabinets with doors(keeps dust moreso at bay AND keeps light off so no sun fade or discoloration) and have enhanced shall we say their basic construction given vinyl is so heavy...adding wood reinforcement top to bottom...bottom is most important as if the bottom fails everything else will be weakened...I made frames to fit inside the cavity under the cabinet and added wood on both sides and center as I put a middle brace in the bottom frame too...prevents sagging shelves and spreads the load out much better. The added extras I have done have added to the overall cost...but if one values their collection can you really overdo it with sturdy storage cabinets? I also only keep LP's on the bottom half and 45's on top. I've got my toolboxes in 2 of them occupying the bottom with one of the top shelves for LPs and the other area for 45's CD's etc. Sorry its such a long post but I searched long and hard for storage and sturdy cabinets for vinyl is not an easy thing to find on a budget. I would say including the extra reinforcements I have made each cabinet comes to about 225 or so each...cabinets themselves ran in the neighborhood of 175.
hey, I saw you playing a Tool record. I highly recommend going on a deep dive through modern progressive rock/metal! Bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, Bigelf, and Porcupine Tree etc have some top of the line musicianship!
wow, a record clam, never heard of that, thanks J.. and the last , for taking the record out of the sleeve, never heard of that either, I love that butler !!! Or is it Butler.
Where do I get a record butler? Didn't buy an Onzow,got a new type in an aluminium tin. Have got several brushes for cleaning,they collect after a while,but the one I like is like a giant shaving brush. Got one of those anti-stat guns that never seem to do anything.😂 Be safe, stay cool. 😎❤✌
RE Cleaning: Over the years, I have spent a lot of coin on Record cleaning kits... Waste of money. I found what works best for vinyl and polystyrene (45 RPM), is a microfiber cloth and Cheap Walmart "Equate" brand eyeglass cleaner. For Shellac 78 RPM records, soapy warm water, (Taking care to avoid getting the label wet) I have actually been able to improve the playback quality records that initially seemed unplayable by a significant amount. Note: Polystyrene record are delicate so use care when cleaning, they can easily crack or break. Also Shellac records are brittle and shatter like glass.
6:35 - I bought one of these to hopefully save a few LP's of mine and it didn't work for the warps my records had. I don't recommend this if your record(s) have multiple warps.
Hey Jarret, I've been digital for years, just for the convenience, but lately on the radio I'm hearing plenty of older songs that I happen to own on vinyl. I'd love to get back into it again and check out all the great records I bought over the years. I'd like some advice on setting up a 'curve' on my equalizer that will make vinyl records really pop. Any suggestions? I have small bookshelf speakers that I don't want to blow, so not too much bass, please. Thanks for your help, your videos are great.
Instead of paying $40 for an Onzow I bought a 6 pack of Moongel damper pads for around $7.00. I found that one pad fits neatly into an empty Listerine breath strip package.
The RCA brush is a poor clone of the original Discwasher brush. Crossley make a reasonable clone of the original Discwasher. I have an original D4+ brush from the late 80's and did a comparo of the Crossley brush it compared well. The RCA failed miserably. I also found the GrooveWasher brush brush to be not as good as the original D4+ or the Crossley (wash my mouth out). Will use my D4+ until it dies.
Great to see you back. I would also suggest another accessory which I acquired recently: Nosound Record Clean Label Saver Album LP Vinyl Cleaning Protector Waterproof Clamp Care. That actually helped me clean many of the old or second hand dusty records I bought over the years. Though actually the running water must be really soft water, otherwise it would leave spots on the vinyl. It is just like clean and dry one record each day. I must say it was very useful.
I just bought John Mayers Sob Rock vinyl as a gift for my girlfriend with the intention of buying a cheap turntable. Now after finding this channel I realize how wrong I was.

I stopped watching your video after only 40 seconds because of misleading statements: dust on the record will hurt your stylus but not before you get deep scratches in your precious vynil first. Bad dog! Naughty!

hi jarret, if you have to stop a song can you just click stop while the song is playing or do you need to lift the needle? the thing that automatically lifts the needle doesn't work on my turntable i need help please

Hi man. I've always loved records and I have a lot, however its mostly from garage sales and hand-me downs, etc. so mostly heavily used and generally 'playable' with some scratches and funk. Would it be dumb to get a quality turntable? What do you recomend for playing sub-optimal vinyl? (I like the record clamp in this video. I'm thinking I need a trooper of a turntable and plan to replace the needle as necessary, so Id want an easily rellaceable cartrige (and affordable). Thanks. BTW Would is a kick ass song!
For such a setup I would personally go with any of the quality tables, new or vintage (to include those Jarrett has recommended in previous episodes), that allow for easily swapping out headshells - Preferably tables using the 'standard' 4 pin twist lock headshell design. That way you can have one cartridge for the 'beater' records and simply swap it out for another headshell and cartridge to play the 'good' vinyl, after a simple tweak of the tracking force and anti skate either way. Best of both worlds.

If you can’t find or afford MoFi inner sleeves, is Vinyl Fever a good alternative? Peace.
I've used Collector Protector and Invest In Vinyl rice paper sleeves from Amazon, and I am very happy with both brands. I really like the Vinyl Fever outer sleeves.
I'm usually very careful with my vinyls but I had one slip out of my hands and now there's a big ol scratch on it. Whats the best way of getting rid of scratches?
Unfortunately you can’t really get rid of scratches. Just make sure you keep the record clean.
is it safe to use the record clamp every single time you play a record?

You are not using the disk washer brush properly. You don’t scrub it back-and-forth on the record.
Should the record be spinning while doing it?
