How long does it take for the Loricraft to vacuum dry one side of a record? If 90 rpm presumably 6 or 7 minutes?

22

ā€¦about 20-30 seconds.

So it canā€™t be following the groove then as a cartridge would take that long to play an LP at 90 rpm.

Have to admit Iā€™ve never looked closely at the business end of a Loricraft to see what it actually does.

No, it doesnā€™t follow the grove, but the movement is linear across the record.

I guess it must be sucking up from a band 5mm wide or so?

Yeah, sounds about right. It does remove any remnants of liquid very effectively tho - you can play the record immediately. :+1:

I used to assume that I would sell my Hanss rcm when I bought the VV but itā€™s just too useful for drying.

Iirc, the rate at which the arm traverses across the disc is driven by some sort of mechanism in the arm base.

Iā€™m guessing it straddles 3-4 grooves as the nozzle rides on a thread. Probably 45ish seconds from label to run out

Guess he had to get something wrong, law of averages / sod etc.
