Velvet Vortex ultrasonic vinyl cleaner

Bought this off the back of a tip from another forum, cheap so worth a punt. Works a treat. Unanimous thumbs up from those that bought one. One guy commented it does a better job than his DS Audio Ioniser.

Just swing it about a bit 1cm over the revolving record.

I find most of the 180g stuff just a gimmick mainly
Especially when you listen to something as dynamic as two tribes on thin vinyl

My boss said he has started ordering 2 copies of new vinyl, one to return. I thought he was joking at first, but actually not a bad idea.

ā€œPlasma Arc Lighterā€
Sounds like another very good reason to play CD only after a ā€˜certain timeā€™ of the evening :grinning:

Interesting. I wonder how much of the effect is due to ions being generated and how much due to deep-ish UV light which is quite good at discharging charged things. Does the room smell of ozone after the plasma arcā€™s been running ?

Yes, there is a slight smell, doesnā€™t last but stronger if you get closer to the record surface.

The latest Velvet Vortex user sent me some pictures of an unplayable charity shop find.

Iā€™ve been considering one of these machines since getting back in to my hi fi and music after a long absence, tried contact page on website but couldnā€™t get through, trying to find out what sort of current delivery times are like and the best way of ordering.

Regards

Yes I was hopeful that I could make contact as all that has been written has given it glowing reports, as a new member here I may not have all the privileges that long standing members have and direct contact does not seem to be possible at the moment.
Fingers crossed!

I always thought that you got all of your privileges on day 1 and gradually had them removed as you upset the mods over time.
