To achieve the best sound with the quietest surfaces, we strongly recommend the Walker Audio Active Enzyme kit. For those who don't want to take the extra steps the Walker system requires, we also recommend the Disc Doctor Cleaning System. No other fluids in our experience can compare with these two. The VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine is the ideal choice to use with either fluid.
The advent of these amazing cleaning products is one of the most important AUDIO REVOLUTIONS of the last ten years. Evaluating decades-old LPs -- which takes up most of our time and energy these days -- would be practically impossible without it.

you're looking for the ultimate in Analog, this is the place to find it.
We also have a series of links for Frequently Asked Questions that may be of interest.
Please feel free to email us at tomport@dccblowout.com if you have questions not answered by the two links above.
