Re: Linn's Ivor T. said the same thing. . .

These statements regarding record cleaning were made by both Gandy and Tiefenbrun in the context of the "typical" UK customer in the early 80's when affordable wet vacuum machines were not yet available and the poor quality of manual cleaning methods being employed at the time would more often than not result in nastier sounding records( damaged in some cases) than had they been left alone.
Both companies built their reputations by demonstrating to the average guy that a higher quality record player would bring greater enjoyment and appreciation of one's favorite music.Audiophilia, then as now, represented only a very small subset of the music buying public.
IMO,the advice then given to avoid * record cleaning* was absolutely correct for the vast majority of the music loving public of the time.
