"These days one can spend a little or a lot on vacuum-based record cleaners. And some of the priciest models are pretty sexy, more efficient, and likely more effective than the VPI HW-16.5, which, though neither pretty nor sophisticated, is a high-value workhorse that simply and effectively gets the job done – and has for nearly 40 years."
