Thanks for the tips!

[@ttownscott]

Love the VinylVac which you mentioned.

[@rusrus555]

Ok, Thanks!😃

[@joshnorthwoods]

Big help. Thx

[@VinylforMiles]

No prob!

[@paulaj2829]

We are all crazy about our Turntables & records.. the fun of doing everything you say is what we all think but sometimes don't think we should do it all.. but it all works ..

[@VinylforMiles]

I think I’m a little OCD with audio. I bounce between my audiophile DAC/Amp set up with flac files and vinyl records, so the noise always annoys me lol this seems to work great and only takes a few mins. Makes you work for the music too so it’s more enjoyable haha

[@verndebes892]

Very helpful

[@MysticRobC5]

I personally avoid anything that could leave a residue on my stylus or on my records. My personal routine is using a Pro-Ject carbon fiber brush before playing each side of a record along with running the Pro-ject Sweep It during record playback. I also use a Hudson Hi-Fi UV Stylus Cleaner to clean my stylus and run problem records on an Okki Nokki One record cleaning machine. The combination works fantastic.

[@robertkahn2417]

Very informative. I also own the UberLight Flex from Reliable Corporation and it’s a game changer for me... okay, I own the company so I’m a little biased ;-) I picked up the Furutech Destat III earlier this week and it’s been fantastic for removing static. It gets very dry in my house and the static problem seemed to be unsolvable... and I’ve tried just about everything. This device was worth every penny (it ain’t cheap). I hope that helps anyone with the same problem.

[@VinylforMiles]

I need to check that destat out for sure!

[@ginovairo6487]

Nice video. There’s a controversy with the Onzow zero dust. Wally Tools claim it leaves a residue on the stylus that is very difficult to remove and degrades the sound. I don’t use my zerodust any more. I use a dry carbon stylus brush and also occasionally use an ultrasonic brush I’ve had since the 80’s that works really well for an extra clean. There’s a more recent version on the market by flux Hi-Fi. Also, word of warning-don’t use liquid stylus cleaners. They can damage the coils, suspension etc in the body of the cartridge.

[@VinylforMiles]

Yeah I heard about that, I never noticed a difference using the zero dust but I used it sparingly and I don’t have a microscope to inspect the damage haha I stoped using it as well after this video came out.

[@houseontherock3105]

Thank you

[@VinylforMiles]

No problem!!

[@MrGamma-gw5zh]

I just lower the tone arm two or three times. Use the head shell weight. Wanna get rid of static? Acrylic platter .

[@VinylforMiles]

Love those platters. Felt slip mats are horrible

[@theomindschrddr7983]

I collect the dust first with a wetcoat brush than with a recordroller

[@robertcudny1839]

Similar if not identical light Bed bath and beyond used to sell for about $55.

[@WarpedRecord]

Very helpful as always. I did not know that about the carbon brush. Are you really not supposed to use soap on the Onzow stylus cleaner? I’ve been using mild dish detergent to clean it. Amazing what that gel picks up!

[@VinylforMiles]

They recommend only warm water on both the Onzow zero dust and rollers. Soap can reduce the stickiness but how much not sure. I’m sure you’re fine :)

[@chrislj2890]

I have the black version of the UberLIght and it is definitely worth the money. You don't realize how much junk is on your record without good lighting. There are many videos concerning that stylus goo and how it's not a good idea to use them as they can create a build up of gunk that is hard to remove. Just use a stylus brush to remove any dust bunnies. Some people swear by the Zero Stat to remove static but I got tired of the tedious routine and replaced it with a Destat III. It is way over priced but it's worth it to avoid the time and hassle of a Zero Stat, with is also over priced. Pops and clicks on vinyl is only a problem with abused records and for people who don't understand how to handle them. Mine are just as quiet as a CD unless I somehow made a mistake.

[@danielwalsh7538]

Zero dust leaves a residue on the stylus ,roller also leaves a residue, I use a project brush for the stylus ,vacuum cleaner the record ,ultra sonic bath for the rinse ,zero stat the record then play jobs a gooden

[@VinylforMiles]

Yup info that I was made aware of after this video.

[@HarveyJohnWillmott]

My carbon fibre brush adds static to the record. I use my milty gun to remove all the static, and then after brushing its back again.

[@VinylforMiles]

Interesting it does the opposite for me.

[@matthewbetz7858]

I have the zerodust but, honestly I have better results with a stylus brush. I try to hit them with both usually the brush first.

[@VinylforMiles]

Mix it up!

[@pedro3dynamite]

I specifically have two 45s that have nothing but surface noise throughout. One is come on Eileen and the other is last kiss, 1964. They both would sound amazing if they didn't have that surface static sound!!! Are they unfixable?

[@ivanbogush]

Surface noise as in crackle, or as in hiss? Wet clean them in a disco antistat if you haven't already, and use a zerostat in-hand before playing them. The more scratched up they are, the harder you'll need to clean them.

[@pedro3dynamite]

[@taranagnew436]

with the brush, do you want it anti-static with a plastic handle?

[@VinylforMiles]

It’s best to have a brush with an aluminum or meta type handle. Some use an aluminum strip. This helps dissipate static

Does the light fit if you have a turntable dust cover?

It bends out of the way when not in use or to open or close the cover.

Congratulations!

[@spiritfreemike]

Best way to clean the stylus is brush ONLY. If there's some kind of residue in the stylus use an old brush (for instance) soaked in demineralized water. Everything will be gone. Don't use the zerodust. It will leave residue on your stylus.

[@mikevieira8583]

Zero Dust doesn't leave grime on your record?

[@VinylforMiles]

Apparently it leaves residue on your stylus not your record. This is recent information but I don’t think it’ll be a big deal if you use it once a month and follow up with a stylus brush and cleaner after. I you use it serval times a day for a few years maybe. I need more info on this all I saw was one article.

[@mikevieira8583]

@@VinylforMiles thanks for the reply! I'm trying to learn all I can about proper LP cleaning, as I buy mostly used. I have a stylus brush, but not a specific cleaner. Any recommendation?

[@tomwebb7091]

Great video but what is this Aluminum you speak of? 🤭

[@VinylforMiles]

The housing of the record brush is made of light weight aluminum. So is the lining of my hat so aliens can’t read my thoughts 👽

[@darinb.3273]

@@VinylforMiles That's absolutely a genius answer 🤪😃😄👍👌 LOVE IT LOL. I thought you did a great job answering the question during the video, however I would suggest ensuring your body is grounded as you body can store the static electricity to (walking across carpet in the winter then touching a metal door knob and ZAP!!!! If your body is grounded the build up can't occur.

You must buy this light because if you don’t you will miss the minute microscopic dust particles that will destroy your vinyl 😂

[@VinylforMiles]

Any light. You’d be surprised how many people online complain of noise and never look at their record in good light to see it needs a cleaning.

[@Hjt31]

Instructions unclear, my vinyl no longer makes any noise and contains no musical content. My wife also left me.

[@ivansbacon]

Why in the world would the light be USB, my turntable does NOT have a usb port, nor is there any near my all analog system ? No thanks. Randomly? He just pulled your address out of a hat, just lucky you had a youtube channel.

[@VinylforMiles]

No he saw my KZbin channel, emailed me and sent me the light no strings attached, he didn’t randomly send it to a lucky winner or anything he liked my videos. Most lights use a usb brick now it’s a little annoying but the way it is I have a ton of the usb bricks lying around now anyways so not an issue.

[@gastelumfrank53]

I'm sick and tired of all these "cleaning" products to clean vinyl , too much monkey business and a waste of my time, I buy SACDs and CDs and don't have to clean them almost ever and get very good quality of sound, cds are easier to store, clean, handle and are cheaper, I own more than 1,000 vinyl records and are a pain to store and clean, static,dust,mold, humidity, bugs are a big problem and expensive, CDs are sooo much easier, cheaper and no brainer to keep, I'm sticking to CDs.

[@VinylforMiles]

All that matters is you're listening to music :) I also have a hifi headphone setup with a DAC/AMP and listen to FLAC when possible. But Vinyl is a super fun hobby if you don't mind the space it takes up and work you gotta put in to clean haha.

[@aron5411]

SACD is so 2004 and obsolete

I buy the album then record it to cd .I get two albums on one cd. So I get the best of both worlds. Only have to play the album once . 😊
