Just set up a Pro-Ject VC-E cleaner today. Have always wanted a nice cleaner but couldn’t justify the higher priced models. This comes in at $399, it’s a nice aluminum build, solid and sturdy, and it does a great job. I’ve only done a few tests, with some budget bin records I picked up awhile back. Ran them through a Spin Clean and played first. Still lots of crackles and pops. Cleaned with the Pro-Ject and they sound almost like new.
I am a huge fan of the budget bins, so this is a really nice purchase for me. A really solid middle ground between the manual cleaners and the top of the line automatics. I’ll do a more in-depth review once I’ve had more of a chance to run albums through it.
