RE: Get some noise-blocking headphones with your VPI

My HW-17F is noisy only when the vacuum is on. It's not very noisy when applying fluid and brushing the LP. I basically clean one or two records right before playing because it is rather monotonous to clean a large number of records in succession. I used to do that when I first got the machine, but now most of my records have been cleaned and they stay clean if replaced in their protective sleeves immediately after playing.

The main thing I'm concerned with is getting my records clean. I think my VPI HW-17F does an excellent job. I guess it would be nice to have a quiet cleaning machine, but I spend so little time cleaning records compared to listening to records that the noise is not a significant factor to me. My HW-17F has been working like new for over 20-years and I couldn't ask for a better machine.

Best regards,
John Elison
