Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning System:
Record Cleaning Perfected
We all know someone who will tell us that audio cables don't make a difference, or that tubes amps sound the same as solid state, and that spending "that kind of money" on your stereo system is a waste, when it comes to audio, disagreements are at every turn, but I can say with out a doubt, that you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who will tell you that dirty records sound good. Since the beginning of sound recordings, even the laziest listener with the cheapest of stereos has at least tried to blow the dust out of the grooves. Everyone knows that a clean record sounds better.
Clean vinyl is not only better-sounding vinyl, it is longer-lasting vinyl as well. All kinds of contaminants can end up in the grooves that will not only impede playback but may also cause long-term damage even if you don't play your records.
Everyone who owns records knows they need to be maintained in a clean condition in order to sound their best and to preserve the quality of their fragile surfaces. Record cleaning devises operate on a number of different theories and principles, but they all have one thing in common -- they do not totally clean all pollutants from record grooves. They leave film, grease, residue, micro dust, static electricity, carbon fiber hair, and mold release compounds behind. These remaining pollutants prevent the record owner from hearing all the music on the record, regardless of the quality of the playback system and they cause premature wear of the record and phono stylus. Until now, no available record cleaning system was accepted by professionals and enthusiasts alike as producing the desired result -- clean records. No single system was able to rid a record's surface of film, grease, residue, and dust while it eliminated static electricity and left a purified vinyl disc.
Nitty Gritty offers such a system. Records cleaned on a Nitty Gritty system reproduce all the music stored in their grooves without the interference and masking of record pollutants. The Improvement in sound that a Nitty Gritty cleaning makes is so dramatic that the benefit of upgrading one component of a hi-fi system is less significant in comparison. the Nitty Gritty record cleaning system has established itself as an essential component in every hi-fi system.
Step One of the Nitty Gritty
The first step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to scrub the record with a special fluid wash. Nitty Gritty offers two record cleaning washes.
Purifier 2 is the stronger cleaner, capable of overpowering the most stubborn residue or grease. It contains a de-greaser, a static neutralizer, a mild detergent and surfactant. Purifier 2 has a remarkable low 6 parts solid per million dissolved solids, making it residue free.
Purifier 1 is recommended for 78 rpm records as it contains no alcohol. Both purifiers are formulated from chemicals that are totally biodegradable.
The Nitty Gritty vac-sweep brush has thousands of microscopic fibers that gently scrub the record's grooves. Its short bristles make the most efficient use of Nitty Gritty's special cleaning fluids, and its softness protects a record from abrasion.
Step Two of the Nitty Gritty
The second step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to vacuum the scrubbed record. This is accomplished with a Nitty Gritty Vacuuming machine. Possibly the most unique part of the Nitty Gritty system is the "hemi-cylindrical lip interface". Through these fiber covered lips, the vacuum motor suctions a dry path accross the entire grooved surface of the record. The shape of the lips serves to minimize contact with the record as well as maximize the velocity of air. The vac-sweep fibrous cloth liner provides additional scrubbing while it cushions contact with the record, protecting the fragile grooves.
The record is supported on the rotating platform which is designed to eliminate any contact with the record groves. This removes the possibility of re-contaminating the first side cleaned, while cleaning the second.
The vacuum motor is directly coupled to the lips, providing the most powerful, effective design possible. The motor is an industrial grade, flow-through type, providing the user with trouble free cleaning.
