Pangea Audio introduced a vacuum machine for washing vinyl records Record Doctor X. A distinctive feature of the new product, which sets it apart from a number of competitors, is the ability to clean both sides of the record at the same time. At the same time, Record Doctor X remains an affordable solution – for example, its cost is $400 less than the popular VPI HW16.5 model.
Keeping your vinyl records clean is a must for any collector. Records that are kept clean sound better and last longer. The vinyl renaissance and the emergence of a large number of new records has become a test for manufacturers offering accessories for washing vinyl, but companies continue to maintain rather high prices for such equipment.
Thus, perhaps the most famous vacuum record cleaning machine HW16.5 from the American company VPI Industries has risen in price in recent years from 650 to 999 US dollars. And the emergence of less expensive solutions offering comparable quality of service can only be welcomed.
The Record Doctor X vinyl record washer from Pangea Audio is equipped with the same vacuum motor and cleaning head as other current models in the Record Doctor series. However, there is an added benefit – while the rotary arm cleans the top surface of the record, its underside is vacuumed through a slot in the top panel of the device.
The Record Doctor X also features a bi-directional rotation motor, eliminating the need to flip the record manually. A 5-inch screw clamp securely fixes the record and protects the “apple” from moisture. Like previous Pangea Audio models, Record Doctor X is housed in a compact body and is equipped with a container for collecting waste liquid for cleaning records.
Steve Niemi , Director of Global Sales for Pangea Audio, LLC, notes, “The so-called vinyl renaissance has created a full-fledged, thriving industry, and more music lovers are returning to this format every day… Record Doctor X provides this growing audience with efficient and An economical tool for cleaning and preserving records for years to come.”
The Pangea Record Doctor X Record Washer includes a bottle of Record Doctor RxLP® Cleaning Liquid (sold separately for $19.95), RDGH Goat Hair Record Cleaning Brush ($29.95), and a handy hand clamp for records and a brush for applying cleaning fluid.
The Pangea Record Doctor X record cleaning machine is available in either a carbon finish or a glossy black finish.
