Thoroughly Clean Your LPs Faster Than Ever Before
If you've been hesitating about buying a record cleaning machine because you're thinking they take too much time to use, the new Record Doctor X is for you. It saves you time by cleaning both sides of an LP at once. No flipping the LP over after doing just one side with Record Doctor X. And the powerful bi-directional rotation motor cleans your record in forward or reverse with the flip of the switch for the deepest, most thorough cleaning.
It’s fast, too! Record Doctor X takes just two rotations in both directions to vacuum away the dust, dirt, and grime that stands between you and the music in the grooves, thanks to the most powerful vacuum engine in its price class and beyond.
Special Turning Motor And LP Clamp
The Record Doctor X's turning motor is very special. It is a large, speed-optimised, high-torque motor that uses a direct drive design and, therefore, doesn't require gears that would complicate the mechanism. Benefits of this design include steady torque, consistent performance, and exceptional reliability.
Also special is the included clamp, which secures the LP to the platter of the Record Doctor X. The clamp is full-size with a protective gasket that protects the label from fluid during record cleaning. This model includes a comprehensive cleaning kit featuring a Record Turner, fluid applicator brush, 4 oz. of RxLP cleaning fluid, and detailed cleaning instructions, making it user-friendly even for those new to record maintenance. Its compact, durable design and high-performance vacuum motor position it as a top choice for serious vinyl enthusiasts.
Compact, Space-Saving Design
And if you're also thinking you don’t have the space for a fully motorised record cleaning machine that’s packed with so many features, this isn't the case with the Record Doctor X. It’s the most compact vacuum powered record cleaning machine you’ll find anywhere. It’s easy to tuck away or to keep near your hi-fi gear for everyday use.
Includes Record Doctor Goat Hair Brush
And here’s a great Record Doctor X bonus. Included is a £29.95 Record Doctor Goat Hair Brush. Two rows of hundreds of all-natural goat hair bristles (instead of synthetic cleaning bristles) provide safe, deep cleaning of record grooves. It’s perfect for spreading cleaning fluid, and the goat hair bristles are naturally anti-static.
In addition to using the Goat Hair Brush with your Record Doctor X, it's also perfect for a final 'dry cleaning' touch-up before LP playback while your record is on the turntable.
Quick, Easy, And Safe To Use
Record Doctor X is quick and easy to use. With its Goat Hair Brush, soft sweeper strips, and specially formulated record cleaning fluid, this machine is safe for all your LPs. A clean LP lets you hear the music you’ve been missing. It helps prolong the life of your LPs and maintain their value. The included Record Doctor RxLP cleaning solution is a non-alcohol industrial-grade cleaner safe for all vinyl records.
Hear What You've Been Missing!
Vacuum cleaning your records with the Record Doctor X lets you hear the music you've been missing. Cleaner records sound better than dirty records. With a clean LP, your record stylus reproduces the music the way the artist intended it to sound – instead of plaguing you with clicks, pops, surface noise, and distortion.
"I cleaned a few not previously cleaned records including an old Westminster stereo Brandenburg Concertos Numbers 3&4 (WST 14115) with Hermann Scherchen conducting members of the Vienna State Opera Orchestra," notes Michael Fremer in his January 2, 2020 AnalogPlanet.com Record Doctor review. "After cleaning both sides, the record played with not a single pop or click nor was any residue left on the Ortofon Anna D stylus, nor was any residue visible on the record surface."
Protect Your Vinyl Investment
It just makes sense that clean, well-cared-for records are worth more than dirty, poor sounding discs. Protect your valuable vinyl investment with the Record Doctor X. Vinyl discs can become so dirty that they are virtually unplayable. According to Gerald L. Gibson, Head of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress, "Dust can become embedded permanently into the disc's grooves, causing distortion of the transmitting signal, ticks, pops, and inferior sound quality."
If you enjoy listening to vinyl, you can hardly afford not to get a Record Doctor X vacuum-powered record cleaner. It not only cleans your records, but it can also help prolong their life by keeping them free of dust, dirt, and grime.
How Often Should You Clean Your Records?
"It is recommended that [vinyl] discs be cleaned before – and after – each playback," notes Gerald L. Gibson, Head of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress, 1991.
Clean the records you already own plus any used LPs you find. But you need to clean brand new records, too, because LPs come from the factory with dust and extraneous bits of vinyl in the grooves.
