AUDIO TECHNICA AT634a Record Care Solution

This product will get the records clean…recommend it

I used this to fill my old D4 bottles from my 2 old Discwasher systems. It's a decent substitute, if you don't feel like making your own. It's safe and works just as well. I've since discovered a squirt or two of "LA's Totally Awesome" cleaner from the dollar store and the remainder of the bottle filled with distilled water works just as well for a lot less money. This AT fluid is pure profit for AT. Very expensive for no more than what it is. Most of these record cleaners are just some form of high-emulsion surfactant, a preservative (to help reject mold growth) and distilled water, nothing more. In fact, when you shake the bottle, it bubbles up some, like soap, so it's clear what it really is. When I make my own, though, I stay away from adding alcohol like some people do. My bro tried that one time and ruined a record. The Awesome product has no alcohol, and I've used a highly dilute solution of it on hundreds of records successfully. However, you can get this if you don't want to mess with anything else, but if you do a lot of cleaning, just be aware, you will go through a bottle of this pretty quickly. For the price, it's kind of a rip off. But, for the occasional dusting with your D4, this will do just fine and last awhile. Otherwise, do some research on record cleaning solutions and just make your own, especially if you're using a spin clean or vinyl style cleaning system, you'll be better for it in the long run.

Have used since the 70's

works as advertised

In my opinion, this solution is pretty much the "The Last of the Mohicans" for a reliable record cleaning solution at a fair price! Unfortunately the original Discwasher D3/D4 formula has long since been discontinued and has been replaced with pretty much Isopropryl alcohol & water since being bought out by other companies, so this AT634 Record Care Solution is the next best thing. I use this religiously and it does what its supposed to do, which is maintenance cleaning of the record & it minimizes static that attracts particles. I always clean with this solution, either on an Audio Technica AT6012 pad or an original Discwasher with the walnut handle, after every playing. This may seem too obsessive for some, but my records are worth it! This is a pro formula and it works plain & simple. If you want or need ultra-pro cleaning, then you would have to do the Mobile Fidelity Lab cleaning kits or VPI units which are pro-pricey. All in all, great juice!

For what is is, kind of pricy, but that's what we liike about records. The expence and inconvienence!!

Good cleaner for vinyl records.

I was getting low on this and of course I couldn’t find just the bottle alone at my local Best Buy, so I’m very glad they sell it here! I love listening to my LP’s and this is a must have! I am also going to buy the stylus cleaner from Technics.
