Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. It’s that you want to remove anything in the grooves that can further damage the record or the stylus once your record is played on your turntable.

With the quality included accessories, a full range of replacement parts readily available online, comprehensive instruction manuals, and potentially higher quality internal components, there's a good reason why Okki Nokki has become a popular choice. On heavy and bulky items the charges can be quite high so please enquire via e-mail or telephone us for an exact cost to avoid mis-understandings. The MKI features a metal base and vacuum arm, while the MKII changes that material for both to nylon. With mixed results, the conclusion was that a combination of the revirginizing process and a record cleaning machine would achieve the best results. The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge.The initial RCM was met with great enthusiasm from the audio community, and it quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and efficient record cleaning solution. This unrivaled cleaning performance not only ensures the longevity of your vinyl collection but also significantly enhances the audio quality, allowing you to enjoy a superior listening experience. My first approach to cleaning records saw me head down the 'revirginizing' path, with Record Revirginizer.
