If you can run a vacuum clean on your carpets without the neighbors
complaining then you can run a vacuum record cleaner. They aren't
much louder and the noise is from exactly the same principle.

OK, many thanks. Another reason why I need to see & hear one in action
before I decide whether I'm going to buy one. If the VPI machines are no
noisier than a domestic vacuum cleaner, then that's perfectly tolerable.
As I said, some reviews have advised people to wear ear defenders while
using these machines!?!



The Moth RCM (which I have) uses a vacuum cleaner motor but it is far
noisier than a vacuum cleaner - due to being closer to your ears than a
vacuum cleaner normally is, if nothing else.! I would certainly advise ear
defenders if you were going to do a lot or if you were going to listen to
them immediately after cleaning them!!

That all said, there is nothing like a nice, clean, *shiny liquorice*
record - enhances the whole experience of vinyl and is well worth the
effort/inconvenience in my book!!
