Default Zen and the Art...

I read the entire article you quoted on record cleaning, "Zen and the Art..."

I must say that when he mentioned using endless clean orbitrac pads, donning gloves, 3 different solutions, in a specific order, drying brushes, brushes to clean the brushes...etc.,etc.,etc. A 5 page article to clean a disk, with the admonishment that if you don't do the whole process...don't bother, I was taken aback. If that isn't enough reason to stick with digital, I don't know what is. OTOH, he may have OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder)

Seriously, does anybody actually do that procedure , and do you do that every time you play a disk? I don't have that much time. I used to use a disk doctor brush and put some D-1 fluid on it, and while the disk was spinning on my TT I'd "clean" the disk. Obviously I was(am) an heretic.

I'll look up the Record Doctor machine.

Comments, anyone!
