A great start to a Sunday morning (again). I had no idea this service existed. I’d love to know if he has any plans to scale up. Mainland Europe / UK could really benefit from such a service. Shipping to the US on a regular basis obviously comes at a premium. I’ve lost count how many customers bring records back to the shop because they sound sub par. A vigorous clean on our cleaning machine fixes that. But this is absolute next level, and I’m keen to give this a spin. Bookmarked!

Seriously though, I am very intrigued. Ive always been back and forth on what exactly the ultrasonic process does to the vinyl. For every "Oh its safe as anything if done correctly" there is a "ultrasonic method damages the vinyl!" For sure Id be very interested in a video of ultrasonic record cleaning 101 and even advanced class as to why its safe and why it works from Steve.

Great timing, I just placed my first order with PVF a couple weeks ago and received the vinyl return package/mailer in just two days, and was on the fence on what records to send for cleaning. Wasn't sure to send old previously used records, high end collectibles , or new/sealed, etc. This was very informative to help me choose which records and understand the process. Looking forward to the results.

@perfectvinylforever9972
@perfectvinylforever9972 2 года назад
Hi Reid. For first time orders, we recommend sending in four records that have “good bones” but need some help with surface noise and other imperfections. Then select four records that you couldn’t possibly imagine sounding better. Lastly, fill out the rest of your mailer with familiar music that really moves you. After performing evaluative listening when your records return, you’ll have a very good understanding of what we can accomplish, and more importantly, what we can’t improve. This will provide an excellent basis for your selections for future orders.

Thanks for saying that today about the german record cleaning machine, in 2013 when i was living in switzerland i had three machines to try out, the first broke after 3 or 4 cleanings, the second started to leak and the third had problems with the rollers, marc m from the audio beat, tested it a few years back so i pointed this out to him and he nearly shot me for mentioning this, i also mentioned this to mr.fremer who didn’t make much of the problems, a lot of these online magazines only care about their advertising budget being fulfilled.

Danny, thx for all of the excellent info and reviews. But the question I have, purchased to different sealed copies of Zeppelin 45rpm Stairway to Heaven test pressings months ago. One from Clarity vinyl and the other from RTI. Have you compared the two or will you review the two to see if there is any substantial difference.
@SonicFlare
@SonicFlare 2 года назад
ha! good for you! Unfortunately I don't have either on 45... or clarity for that matter. I have the standard black vinyl 33... I know from experience with other titles where I do have both that sometimes the clarity vinyl can be quite noisy, negating the benefits you'd think you would derive from carbon free vinyl... it's all trial and error... Enjoy!!!

Beautiful ! I'm going to give this a shot Question off this subject. I purchased a new 45 Lp a couple weeks ago. It was a hot day, near triple digits. The Lp on the passenger seat in the sun on the seat belt buckle deformed a bit. Still playable but even with heavier tracking has trouble with the first two tracks on one album. Any suggestions to flatten ? I've tried putting sleeved album on a warm piece of granite with fairly heavy weight on top. Helped but no cure

You can send Steve the record, he offers a service to flatten warped records too…….. I’ve used it a few times with terrific results!
@perfectvinylforever9972
@perfectvinylforever9972 2 года назад
True, we sell flattening services that are an add-on to our cleaning packages. For $12, we put the record through a $2000 flattening machine. It is a four hour process. Select a cleaning package from our website store then add the number of records you’d like flattened. We’ll take care of the rest! If a record doesn’t lay down to our satisfaction, we’ll refund the flattening fee.

I just don't know I would feel comfortable sending my precious records from Australia to America to get cleaned. I mean 80% of my collection has come from America to begin with, along with the high cost of freight. To send them all the way back seems a tad crazy. But I do love the idea.

Hi Paul. We can clean 7" (both small and large center hole), 10" and 12" vinyl records. We don't clean records of other substances like lacquers, 78s (shellac) and transcription records. The composition of these records are not compatible with our process.

Used PVF service some time ago, I loved it. As a matter of fact one of the records I sent was a "test copy" with another copy just like it staying at home. When my records came back and I played them both side by side I've noticed improvement right away. Great service. Definitely will send more records for cleaning. Thank you Sonic Flare for the interesting interview, thank you Steve for the great work. Also would like to ask if anybody can recommend any good place where I can take Denon DP-47F for some fine tuning and regular maintenance (preferably in NY - NJ - PA area). These turntables apparently so weird that nobody wants to work on them. LOL

Mr Kirmuss and Perfect Vinyl Forever serve very different markets, and it isn’t solely differentiated by convenience. Results play a major factor in the types of listeners we serve.

Many of them are currently in print. Procure a copy then clean it in any way you wish, as many times as you want, arrive at AXPONA room 696 and I’ll play it against a copy cleaned with our Archival 3.0 process. As Danny commented, many have done this privately and most now have record cleaning machines gathering dust.

@@perfectvinylforever9972 You seem a little defensive. Why is it my responsibility to provide a valid test regiment to sell your services? I'm not suggesting, in any way, you service won't win by a mile, but if you make some big announcement about a listening test then at least make it a valid one. Almost ANYTHING used to clean a record right out of the sleeve will sound better than without a cleaning. Your competition, for anyone considering your services, is folks who own cleaning machines already like Danny...so logic would dictate that you might want to actually test that. I don't really care if you use a 16.5 but use something other than a dirty LP right out of the factory..no one I know disputes they are dirty when new! It's great that Danny attests to the superiority of your services and I have no reason to doubt him, but again, if you do a test, don't set up a paper tiger like dirty out of the factory records to beat. Why not see HOW much of a difference it makes. Believe it or not I am your perfect potential client. 10,000+ records in every genre, an AMG Viella 12 Turbo, and on...I have an ultrasonic, VPI and Project for different stages of cleaning and requirements. I was wondering about the improvement for some of my rarer LPs your services would make,.. Oh yes, and by the way, ...I don't own a lab coat or know anyone else who does, nor do I own products by anyone who wears one in public ( that I know of...), and no, I don't get anything for free, I pay for everything I own, including services. Good luck with your business, I actually wish you the best and wish you could challenge yourself.

I know how great a vinyl record can sound; and my comment was not against vinyl in general, but against the thinking that every vinyl record sound better than any compact disc, which is simply not true! I can recommend the first press of brothers in arms on cd mastered by John Dent ( the one where it is written " a full digital recording" on the cover; only the first press has this) and the first press cd of the queen is dead by the smiths on rough trade records. but anyway: enjoy music, no matter what format^ Peace.

@@michaellourie4252 most vinyl records are dubs from analogue tape anyway^ analogue tape is something that really sounds fantastic; I personally think that tape sounds the best (but that is just my personal taste^). but what you say about the audio-siganal curve is not correct; digital audio does not work that way^ the curve is 1:1, if done the right way. when you say that vinyl sounds warmer is maybe because all frequencies under 40 Hz are mono on a vinyl record (because of the disc space) and every frequency above 23 kHz is -3db. you must do these things on vinyll records becauese otherwise you could not put 20-30 min music on one lp side. anyway: leave me alone with the master tape of led zeppelin IV with proper recording and mastering gear and I will master a cd that will beat the shit out of every other cd version and vinyl version of that album^^peace.
