I just bought a Spin Clean MKii record cleaner in order to clean my collection that dates back to music purchased from the 60's & 70's and of course the albums I have purchased since the early 80's. The cleaner seems to work very well accept for one issue. Once a record is cleaned, during playback there are more clicks and pops then prior to cleaning. This occurs on brand new purchases as well as those garage sale vinyl. So I decided to test and play the same side of one album. As I type this, I am on round three and each time I play the record the clicks and pops begin to be less and less audible. Why is this? I am following the instructions that came with the cleaner exactly how they are stated. Could it be a static issue? Is a Zerostat going to help? Or am I missing something completely? I have an old B&O RX2 with an MMC4 cartridge that was brand new (just the cartridge, I bought the TT in 1983) in 1993 and never used until about 6 months ago. As soon as the funds are available I am upgrading to a Rega P5 (at least I think that will be the one, I still have some auditioning to do). Regards, David
