Jesperhh01 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask I've recently started collecting vinyl and have had almost no problems until now after buying brand new records. The older records I've bought had some dust on them, but nothing I couldn't get rid of, but now I'm finding it really hard to get my new records properly clean. They sound really poppy and after playing them a lot of dust has accumulated on my stylus (this doesn't happen on my older records). I've tried cleaning them with a carbon fibre brush and with a vinyl cleaning soulution I've bought and a microfibre cloth. It does improve a tiny bit, but there is still a tail of dust hangig of the stylus by the end of playing the record/s and it gets more and more poppy as the dust collects. I can't really see the dirt on the records, but the popping and the dust on the stylus is there making me thing there is dust/gunk embedded deep in the grooves. What I'm wondering about is how can I get these records properly cleaned at home while not having to spend a lot of money on expensive cleaning gear? And is this a common problem? It has happended to all my new records so far. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
