Great review! One critical step seems to have been missed. The liquid cleaner does double duty as a dirt lifter as well as a lubricant. The Record Doctor X vacuums both sides simultaneously so you will want to wet one side of the record and then while it’s still wet turn the record over and wet the other side prior to engaging the vacuum feature. Without doing this you run the risk of the felt on the bottom of the record causing micro-scratches since the solution (lubricant) is absent on that end. If memory serves me the instructions state this as well. 😎👍 Forever Vinyl!!!

What I likes about it s it turns the vinyl and cleans both sides! But at my age with one foot in the grave 600 dollars is a little more than I can afford! But your review was excellent and to the point! Which is very refreshing considering all the bs on you tube

@DevotedtoVinyl 3 месяца назад

Pull that foot out of the grave, my friend. And thanks for watching!

I have a Record Doctor 5. Works fine. Not too noisy. It is a vacuum after all...

@JeHaVe 3 месяца назад

A very informative video, thanks. It only seemed a bit strange to me that the possibility of cleaning two sides at the same time isn't mentioned or shown.

Thank you. I'd been waiting on a review of the device.

vinyl forever! Just purchased one too. I agree with your evaluation of the machine, I still am pleased with my purchase. For me, the greatest convenience of using it is the ability to vacuum both sides of the record at the same time. I usually clean 10 records at a time and 2 sides vacuuming saves time. Nitty Gritty has a model that cleans/vacuums 2 sides the same time, but costs over $1,600.00.

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

Oh very cool, thanks for sharing. Being able to vacuum both sides must save a ton of time!

@bigstar33thriftymusiccolle7 4 месяца назад

Good video. Thank you for sharing. I am still old school with clean records by hand. It is relaxing, maybe not as effective. The needle will tell if I didnt do a good job. Have a good one.

Great video, I've been waiting for a good review on this. I had a Record Doctor V before my current Project VC-s2 ALU and it was a lot louder than the the project. Vinyl forever

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

Oh very cool. How are you liking the Project record cleaner?

@1NotAPony1 10 дней назад

I agree with others. Not showing or mentioning that the Record Doctor 10 (It's what the "X" stands for" can clean both sides of the record at the same time was a fairly big omission.

I concur with motuknight’s very important observation that the review did NOT show BOTH sides of the record being treated with the lubricant/cleaner before using the vacuum attachment. That should be corrected, given this simultaneous, dual side operation is one of the stated attributes of the device, obviously being a very attractive, time-saving feature. I do agree with the reviewer that the asking price of the device is not inexpensive, but far below some of the other motorized gadgets being sold. And, to put the cost in perspective, if one invests in very pricey reissues, such as those by Analogue Productions, keeping such discs in optimum playing condition does not seem as extravagant a purchase.

Great (honest) review! Vinyl Forever! My collection is growing and I have a few hundred old records from the old days and some that I've inherited, so I am considering some type of record cleaning machine. I've considered the Vinyl Vac low budget alternative. Or even a Record Doctor VI. But for now I am sticking with hand cleaning. Most of my collection is still CD's and I don´t my cleaning my vinyl records by hand. Although not as effective, for me it works as a kind of relaxation therapy :)

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

That makes total sense. And I agree, there is kind of an oddly relaxing vibe to hand cleaning vinyl.

@georgegolden532 4 месяца назад

Vinyl forever … glad you did this video. I been debating if I wanted/needed to get a record cleaning machine. I been seeing videos for the cheaper Humminguru, but I feel like a record vacuum might be a better investment. I don’t understand why the prices are so high tho. Thanks for your perspective and glad to see you posting videos again.

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

What’s up, George?! Hope you’re doing well. I agree about the price-definitely a luxury to have, despite their effectiveness.

@user-cj5qc9ig5n 4 месяца назад

The Rec Doc V version is only $219.95. This manual-operation machine features the same vacuum motor but cleans one side of the LP at a time.

@brucevinyl3504 4 месяца назад

Interesting review. I own the Moth II (British) equivalent of the Record Doctor X. The main difference is my machine vacuums from below- drawing the record down onto the the suction arm. It does a pretty good job but I have many hundreds of LPs. Ear plugs are essential as this thing sounds like a Boeing jet!

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

Wow. It’s amazing how loud these machines can get!

@rome8180 2 месяца назад

I think I'll just get the Record Doctor VI and save $300. I'm sure it's nicer to not have to turn the record by hand. But $600 vs. $300 is a huge price difference.

@miamiwax5504 2 месяца назад

twice as fast tho. I have hundreds of lp's to clean a day somemtimes. seems worth it to do it in half the time especially if i'm paying an employee. i think the fastest way is to use a spin clean first and vacuum after.

@rome8180 2 месяца назад

@@miamiwax5504 yeah, for your situation it's totally worth it. I just have a small record collection. Maybe 60 albums. I don't mind if it takes me several sessions to clean them all.

Besides a jukebox Is there a record player that automatically flips the vinyls for you after one side is done?

@anjovandijk9797 24 дня назад

Does static get away as well

@MartyHalpern 2 месяца назад

I thought the Record Doctor X is capable of cleaning both sides of the record simultaneously. However, I've watched more than half of this vid and there is no mention about cleaning both sides. So I'm off to find a vid that does in fact cover this aspect of the X.

@w.j.mulder8284 3 месяца назад

The Okki nokki does exact the same but is much cheaper so

@mikep9354 3 месяца назад

Vinyl forever - are you able to review the Humminguru? I believe that is less expensive than the Record Doctor X

So crazy..i just had this on my cart debating and your video popped up. I have a love/hate relationship with this machine. This is the 5th vacuum cleaner I tried and by far the loudest thing this side of creation. I couldn’t take how loud and slow it spins and the label cover is so big and clunky. I ended up throwing it on eBay and going back to the Pro-ject version of vacuum cleaner. The Pro-ject spins 4x as fast and not as loud, But now I’m missing it and having regrets about selling it as it did exactly what i was searching for, which was a cleaner that cleaned both sides of the record at one time. I had the carbon version. Here’s a stupid question…but could the glossy version block out a little more of the noise? 🤔

@user-cj5qc9ig5n 4 месяца назад

The vacuum motor for the Rec Doc X is twice as powerful as the one used in the Pro-Ject model which is why it sounds louder. The spin rate was set so the user can thoroughly clean the LP in a single forward and then a single reverse rotation which means the total cleaning time is less than it would be when doing 3-4 revolutions.

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

Wow, crazy-what funny timing! The gloss black version of the Record Doctor X? I would be surprised if that affected the loudness of the vacuum. With that said, I only tested the carbon fiber version though.

@user-cj5qc9ig5n 4 месяца назад

@@DevotedtoVinyl The gloss black version of the RDX will have the same sonic signature as the carbon fiber vinyl version.

@steveniemi9299 4 месяца назад

100% correct on the RD-X turning speed; it was designed with a slower spin speed, so as to give the vacuum time to clean the fluid off the vinyl as it passes the vacuum strips. If the record turns too fast, the fluid gets smeared as much as it gets vacuumed off. The slow speed allows for full extraction in 1 (or 2 if needed) passes, with little to no smearing.

VINYL FOREVER

@DalstonVinyl 4 месяца назад

I'm wondering how well it copes with records that are less than flat ie are moderately warped.

@user-cj5qc9ig5n 4 месяца назад

Extremely well since the vacuum strips clamp down on the LP from the top and bottom at the same time.

@DevotedtoVinyl 4 месяца назад

It’ll probably do okay. The platter isn’t as big as the record itself, but the clamp does tighten over the spindle and vinyl extremely tightly.

Sorry for say so But the cleaning is by hand

@miamiwax5504 2 месяца назад

this is a bit much for 600$. the carbon fiber is really unecessary. why do i need a lighter machine? lol.. i don't think anybody is moving this around. they should offer a basic model for 400 tops.
