A few days ago I bought the degritter, the cleanliness of the records is exemplary and the listening result after the treatment is surprising, beyond my expectations. Improved dynamics, more space between notes, never heard of details and better flow.
However, I am having trouble eliminating the crackles and pops that plague some vinyl. I bought these new vinyl records 30-35 years ago and I’m sure they didn’t have these flaws at the time.
I made several attempts to solve using the Degritter surfactant (1 ml) in the tank and the Art du Son applied manually on the vinyl and then in the Degritter with distilled water only.
With the Degritter surfer I did not get any results, while with LDS I got only a slight improvement.
I suppose the crackling and pops are due to very old dirt that has stuck tenaciously to the grooves because at a visual examination the vinyl looks perfect and shiny without any scratch. Besides, I’ve always used valuable cartridges over the years.
Someone who had a similar experience and maybe solved it?
