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 time’ 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 arc’s been running ?

Yes, there is a slight smell, doesn’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.

I’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 couldn’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.
