hi, newbie on the site and loving it
thought I would throw in 2 cents worth as I have just spent the last few weeks cleaning a stack of records and the method I have used seems to work quite well.
1. clean the record with a mix (1:4) of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water - wipe down gently with soft clean microfibre cloth
2. leave them to completely air dry on a rack
3. Use the PVA wood glue method - have done about 100 records in the last 6 weeks - no probs at all
4. Repeat step 1 & 2 - just to make sure no remnants left behind
I have found it definately reduces the surface noise and the records sound fantastic to my ears - some of these are from the late 70's and early 80's that I have in the collection and they sound great.
I have what I think is just a mid end system but the sound is just right for me and I love it.
