The brushes are quite good as well. I used to use...maybe miracle cleaner or something like that...cleaned one of my favorite records twice with it and thought it sounded great. Got some disc doctor...and it somehow got even MORE stuff out. Been convinced ever since.

thanks for the recommendation of cleaning fluid nukular.

as for the RCM, can't make up my mind yet. a KAB EV-1, VPI HW 16.5 or Clearaudio Smart Matrix. the last two is about same price in Singapore while the KAB EV-1 is cheap but manual... ya, I can save alot if buying KAB EV-1 and I can use the balance fund to buy more LPs

my mate is toying with ideas how to DIY a RCM too...

look like I'll have to wait for a while to decide...

i've been considering one of these possibly as a cheaper RCM

 

[cantsleep]

ok went from ortofon om20 to denon 106r
and now to benz glider m2

its new cart so i may take some time to burn in
but man, i like this cart already

 

[Skylab]

The Glider is an awesome pick-up

 

[cantsleep]

yeah, i kinda took your advice on going 50 50 spending ratio, on cart/TT

I've used a KAB EV-1 for around 4 years. A great cheap option for cleaning lp's. And it does an excellent job too. I have cleaned many hundred records with mine.

I ordered an Okki Nokki RCM from my local dealer. It should be in anytime now. My LPs are yelling for a good bath
