"VC-S3 is our new premium record cleaning machine with completely new, superior features. The dry brush cleaning before playing the record is good to roughly remove dust. To effectively clean the grooves, you need to wet clean the record. To achieve the perfect cleaning, we also need a suitable cleaning fluid. Alcoholic cleaning fluids can destroy musical micro information of the grooves. That‘s the reason we designed our new eco-friendly Wash it 2 non-alcoholic cleaning fluid, pre-mixed so you don‘t have to dilute the concentrate yourself anymore. This avoids accidentally using unsuitable tap water for mixing." - Pro-Ject

LAB REVIEW

Pro-Ject's VC-S3 is a complete wet/dry cleaning system featuring a mechanically stable, spring-free metal vacuum arm that quickly and powerfully deep cleans your vinyl. The VC-S3 improves on the bestselling VC-S machine with increased size and new aluminum composite cabinet, allowing for quieter operation and improved handling of the record and cleaning processes. Boasting 3x faster cleaning than similar machines (complete dry in 1 to 2 rotations, each rotation = 2 seconds) with a large 2.5L internal container to collect used fluid, which evaporates meaning the tank will rarely (if ever) need to be emptied. Comes complete with new magnetic waterproof clamp (improved from previous model's screw-on clamp) to protect your vinyl labels during cleaning and eco-friendly pre-mixed Wash It 2 cleaning fluid for use with 12", 10", and 7" vinyl. This is a highly efficient and effective way to keep your vinyl clean and clear of dirt and debris, ultimately resulting in a better listening experience.
