Re: Record Cleaning with Groovmaster

I wouldn't worry too much about the mold/mildew issue. Although vinyl records can get mold if stored in humid conditions for long periods of time. It occasionally shows up on used records, but it is never in great quantities (at least on records you would ever want to buy) and once a record is cleaned mold is not likely to resurface unless you store your records in the same conditions, which you obviously won't.

Of the items you mention, Spin-Clean and Nitty Gritty are the only two I've used. All I can say is they both work and: (1) Reusing the Spin-Clean fluid isn't a big deal unless it just really, really bothers you, and you can always change it out as often as use wish. (2) If you're serious about growing your vinyl collection, you might just skip the intermediate steps and buy the Nitty Gritty Model 1.0 (or the equivalent Record Doctor III from Audio Advisor), which can be had for much less than $500.
