6 Accessories Vinyl Enthusiasts Can't Live Without
1. Spin Clean Record Cleaner
Wet cleaning is the way to ensure your records are perfectly clean.
This machine is a wonderful solution that has been made in the USA since 1975. We feel wet cleaning is essential if you are buying used records. It gives your records a bath with some safe scrubbing brushes to get anything that might be stuck deep in those grooves. Everything from tap water residue, to smoke, or spilled drinks, the Spin Clean will remove them all.
3. MoFi Electronics LP #9 Stylus Cleaner
Your stylus gets dirty, too. A lot of people forget to clean it, which is a fatal mistake if your goal is to achieve the best possible sound.
To prevent dirt and dust build-up on the stylus, apply MoFi LP #9 Stylus Cleaner after each record play. The cleaner removes dirt from your stylus and prevents hard deposits from damaging your records.
We like MoFi because it’s safe for any kind of stylus – no abrasive chemicals that will damage your setup!
4. LAST Power Cleaner
When you don’t want to take the time to do a cycle with a wet cleaning machine, the Last Power Cleaner is a great option.
It is strong enough to remove most of the gunk in the grooves and perfectly safe for your records. Developed by chemists in the 70s, LAST products have proven the test of time.
4. MoFi Original Master Sleeves
How you store your records matters just as much as how often you play and clean them.
That’s why it’s a good idea to store them in professional-grade sleeves. The right sleeves not only prevent scratching – they also keep out dust and other contaminants that could make your records dirty.
MoFi Original Master Sleeves are a three-ply, anti-static, premium sleeve that consists of a paper layer sandwiched between two sheets of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a translucent HDPE front. It’s a far cry from sliding your records into a plain paper sleeve, and that’s a good thing.
