The device I am going to talk over is the best vinyl cleaner you will ever meet.
It’s a Vinyl Vac 33 wand which was designed to give your records a new life. Yes, with this professional kit you now can restore your vinyls immediately as this magic cleaner will lift and absorb embedded grime carefully. In the set you’ll get the felt washer to protect the label, two replacement velvet pads, two O-rings for the hose, and absorbing reducers. The manufacturer claims that this wand will clear the path for the turntable stylus to go through the grooves which is absolutely true!
