This fresh approach to stylus cleaning has saved all of us from the fear of hard bristled brushes and over applying dangerous fluids. Clean your stylus simply and effectively with the Zerodust from Japan. This space-age polymer bubble allows you to simply lower your stylus onto its surface, then quickly lift the arm lever and youre done! Watch as the stylus tip slowly sinks into the baby soft surface, leaving behind an impression with the stylus debris left behind! This unique device will last a lifetime, can be cleaned with tap water, and can extend the life of your cartridge! Comes complete with a magnifier to inspect your stylus! Our highest recommendation!

After a few seconds, you lift the stylus, and its as clean and reside-free as the proverbial whistleUpside: no potentially dangerous brushing, and no fluids! - Michael Fremer, Stereophile, Recommended Components Issue

Using the Spin-Clean system is easy. Simply mix the record cleaning solution with water in the tank, rotate the record through the solution and a pair of record brushes located on each side scrub the record clean, then remove the record, place on flat surface and wipe dry with the drying cloth, flip over and wipe dry the other side.

The solvent at the heart of this extraordinary cleaner has three characteristics which make it the best vinyl cleaner on the market today.

First, the solvent has a very low surface tension and very low viscosity. This means that Premiér is much, much 'wetter' than water. Unlike water, Premiér wont bead-up on the waxy surface of an LP but instead it will spread out, flowing into the grooves and dissolving light oils and fingerprints. (We know you never touch the surface of your LPs, but theres just no telling some folks.)

Secondly, Premiér is very heavy -- nearly twice as heavy as water, and much heavier than dust or the little bits of mold release compounds left on the LP by the stamping machine. This enables Premiér to get under the contamination on the record and displace it -- it literally 'floats' the contamination away, just like a ship floats in the ocean.

But it gets even better. One little-known fact about LPs is that they accumulate static, just like that cheap shag carpeting your parents put in the family room when you were a kid. Remember the jolt of electricity you got when you walked across the room and touched a doorknob? Well, the same thing happens to LPs as you slide them in and out of their sleeves or even just walk across a room with one in your hand (although obviously at much lower voltages). At the microscopic scale of a record groove and a dust particle, that tiny voltage acts like a powerful magnet and locks the dust particles onto the surface of the record. But Premiér features a special additive which breaks those 'static' bonds, freeing the dust to float off the LP. This unleashes the 'like new' sound thats trapped in your LPs -- getting rid of the static means you get rid of the dust, along with the snaps and pops and cracks which drive you nuts.

Does it work? You bet. A skeptical Tom Lyle wrote in The $ensible Sound that The results are impressive I was amazed how silent the vinyl was. More recently, in Stereophile Michael Fremer wrote Most importantly, after that first play the stylus remained clean, with no residue or dirt stuck to it.' No dust, no noise, just pure sound

Heres a couple of other useful features about Premiér:

* Premiér dries briskly, so it can be used in conjunction with other LP cleaning systems.
* Premiér can clean LPs, CDs and DVDs, plus all the recording heads, motors, relays, dials, connectors and cables found on modern stereo systems. It also is safe for keyboards, test gear and even the screens on laptop computers and PDAs.
* Premiér is nonflammable so its safe to have around the house.
* Premiér has almost no aroma so its inconspicuous to use.
* Premiér is completely ozone-safe, is generally non-toxic and is considered very safe for people and the planet. Although we know people who use Premiér on operating electronics, it is neither approved nor recommended by Micro Care for that use.

Gruv-Glide is a dry record treatment that actually enhances the fidelity of the record. Prior to its development, even the highest quality cartridge could not produce the maximum available reproduction from the phono record. Now for the first time, Gruv-Glide will allow you to hear more micro-detail while bringing out the best possible sound.

Gruv-Glide not only increases fidelity, but also reduces surface noise, removes static, and cleans the record. The treated record and cartridge stylus will last longer due to the increased tracking ability and reduced friction. One application lasts for an indefinite period of time. The kit will treat at least 200 records when used as directed, making it a very economical record care system.

For cleaning: We recommend keeping an unused toothbrush around for cleaning the pads on the MD LP Brush. Remember...a clean brush is a happy brush...and one that will not transfer debris onto other records!

Different from any other strobe, HIFI4MUSIC's DIGIstrobo measures the actual speed of the platter while the record is playing. Not only is this more convenient than using a conventional strobe disc, but more accurate by accounting for stylus drag.

Super Tuning Kit - three 2-inch cones with five resonance control discs, plus four extra 1-inch control discs. The 1-inch discs can be used on top of all components, including speakers, shelves, racks and power supplies.

No system can sound its best until resonances are under control. Stands, shelves and component chassis are major contributors to vibrations. Materials commonly used to to manufacture shelves and racks, such as marble, granite, glass and most metals, are used for cosmetic reasons and actually aggravate the vibration and resonance problems.

Valid Points are designed to provide isolation and stabilize resonances of all components in an audio or video system. This includes analog, digital and video components, as well as speakers, shelves and stands. The improvement in the sound will be amazing. The sound stage will have greater width, depth, detail, bass, speed, extension, and focus.

Resonance between components can be additive or subtractive. Therefore, it is necessary for the two most critical components to be treated first, at the same time.

Editor's Choice Award
    The Absolute Sound -  "...sensationally effective under most components particularly when used with Walker Resonance Control discs, which, themselves, can have a salubrious effect on components on which they are placed."

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

Digital Systems - The transport or CD player and pre-amp are usually the most critical components of a digital audio system.  In a video system, the video player and the processor are the most critical.  You will achieve the most dramatic effect by treating both of these components with Valid Points first.  Next, apply Valid Points to your D-to-A , followed by the amplifiers and speakers.  

Analog Systems - Valid Points will improve the sound most effectively by treating the turntable, phono amp and pre-amp simultaneously.  Then, apply Valid Points to your amplifier and speakers.  (If the transformers are exposed, place two discs on top.) 

Remote Power Supplies -  These will benefit enormously from Valid Points.  The effect will be as great, or even greater, than the effect on the component itself.  If the transformers are exposed, use two of the ½ -inch discs or order the larger, optional 1-inch discs for the top of the transformers.

Speakers - Use the larger 2-inch Valid Points under the speakers, three per speaker stand. Valid Points are available threaded.  Also, use the ½ - inch or 1-inch discs on top of the speakers to control cabinet vibrations.

PLACEMENT OF CONES AND DISCS

Don’t worry about where the manufacturer has placed the feet on the component. Usually, the feet are placed for convenience, not for controlling resonances.  The real test is in the music.  

Three Valid Points are recommended and should be positioned with the points down into the control discs.  Try several configurations -- two in front and one in back, then try two in back and one in front. You will be able to hear the difference and there will be an optimum placement.  The rough side of the resonance control disc always goes down.

USING THE EXTRA DISCS 

Each standard Valid Points Resonance Control kit comes with three cones and five discs.  You will use three of the discs under three cones.  The two remaining resonance control discs are to be placed on top of your component to control case vibrations and resonances.  The discs should be placed near the center - usually about one to three inches apart.  

Remember: All discs are placed rough side down.

With the discs in place, tap lightly on the top of the component.  Adjust the position of the discs until the high-pitched ringing is eliminated.  If the top cover of your component is very large, you may need an extra disc or the heavier 1-inch resonance control discs which may be purchased separately.  The Super Tuning Kit comes with four 1-inch control discs.  When the Valid Points are properly placed, you will hear a much deeper, wider, and more focused sound stage, faster dynamics, more detail and much better controlled bass.  The improvement will be quite dramatic.  Any changes you make now in your system, you will be able to hear immediately!

Happy Listening,

Lloyd Walker

Michael Fremer, writing in Stereophile, uses the HW-17 and called it the most copied cleaning machine in the world. The HW-17 is VPI's automatic, affordable, “state of the art” vacuum cleaning solution. Many music lovers and record collectors have collections running into thousands of titles. With a collection of this size it is useful to have a faster machine.

The principle of a vacuum machine is simple. The record is placed on the platter and the cleaning solution is applied to the surface of the record with a pump which is then worked into the grooves. This solution is crucial as it is an effective degreasing agent removing grease which binds detritus to the surface of the vinyl. This machine is fan cooled and made of Marine Grade Plywood so it is virtually indestrucable. It was designed to be used in hour after hour cleaning large batches of vinyl without a break. In addition, the motors are the highest quality with integral fan cooling ensuring a long working life. The platter drive motor rotates at 18 RPM and is bi-directional. The bi-directional function was installed in this machine to ensure that dirt which is in the bottom of the groove in one direction could be loosened by cleaning in the opposite direction.

The fluid is applied to the vinyl via a pumped cleaning fluid reservoir built into the machine. This fluid applicator has been designed to apply a very even layer of fluid across the record without risking contamination of the label. The twin arms on top of the machine contain a vacuum slot and a cleaning brush. Both of these arms are self adjusting allowing optimal operation on a variety of vinyl thicknesses without user intervention.

This critically acclaimed machine is standard equipment in record libraries such as the US Library of Congress and numerous radio stations. This is one of the finest record cleaning machines in the World.

Manufacturer's Description:

Records are precious. Not only are they arguably the best-sounding medium for reproduced music, but they often constitute irreplaceable collections. Even with careful handling contamination cannot be avoided in the long term. It is also well known that residual compounds from the LP pressing process obscure inner detail unless removed by cleaning even new records.

Reiner Glass of Audiodesksysteme has developed a professional quality, easy to use record washing machine he call the Vinyl Cleaner. The Vinyl Cleaner is fully automatic. The record is placed perpendicularly from above into the equipment opening and the red activation button is pressed. When the green LED shines, the clean LP can be removed. During the cleaning process rotary cleaning barrels made from a microfiber material move in opposite directions while a unique ultrasonic system carefully and thoroughly removes even the finest contaminants from the grooves. In use the cleaning solution is thoroughly filtered to avoid recontamination of the LP. Two high performance fans guarantee effective drying with quiet operation.

Technical: How can sound clean?

Ultrasonic is sound generated above the human audible level.

A physical effect called cavitation results from the generation of ultrasonic frequencies in a liquid. In this cavitation process ultrasonic compression waves are created by an ultrasonic transducer. When the amplitude of this soundwave increases to a level where the surface tension of the liquid is broken, the fluid will tear apart leaving behind millions of microscopic vacuum bubbles. These vacuum bubbles then rapidly compress or implode creating millions of tiny liquid jets small enough to clean inside the smallest grooves of an LP. This process, also called microagitation, displaces any contaminants on the surface of the LP.

Three Standard Cones & Five Resonance Control Discs

No system can sound its best until resonances are under control. Stands, shelves and component chassis are major contributors to vibrations. Materials commonly used to to manufacture shelves and racks, such as marble, granite, glass and most metals, are used for cosmetic reasons and actually aggravate the vibration and resonance problems.

Valid Points are designed to provide isolation and stabilize resonances of all components in an audio or video system. This includes analog, digital and video components, as well as speakers, shelves and stands. The improvement in the sound will be amazing. The sound stage will have greater width, depth, detail, bass, speed, extension, and focus.

Resonance between components can be additive or subtractive. Therefore, it is necessary for the two most critical components to be treated first, at the same time.

Editor's Choice Award
    The Absolute Sound -  "...sensationally effective under most components particularly when used with Walker Resonance Control discs, which, themselves, can have a salubrious effect on components on which they are placed."

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

Digital Systems - The transport or CD player and pre-amp are usually the most critical components of a digital audio system.  In a video system, the video player and the processor are the most critical.  You will achieve the most dramatic effect by treating both of these components with Valid Points first.  Next, apply Valid Points to your D-to-A , followed by the amplifiers and speakers.  

Analog Systems - Valid Points will improve the sound most effectively by treating the turntable, phono amp and pre-amp simultaneously.  Then, apply Valid Points to your amplifier and speakers.  (If the transformers are exposed, place two discs on top.) 

Remote Power Supplies -  These will benefit enormously from Valid Points.  The effect will be as great, or even greater, than the effect on the component itself.  If the transformers are exposed, use two of the ½ -inch discs or order the larger, optional 1-inch discs for the top of the transformers.

Speakers - Use the larger 2-inch Valid Points under the speakers, three per speaker stand. Valid Points are available threaded.  Also, use the ½ - inch or 1-inch discs on top of the speakers to control cabinet vibrations.

PLACEMENT OF CONES AND DISCS

Don’t worry about where the manufacturer has placed the feet on the component. Usually, the feet are placed for convenience, not for controlling resonances.  The real test is in the music.  

Three Valid Points are recommended and should be positioned with the points down into the control discs.  Try several configurations -- two in front and one in back, then try two in back and one in front. You will be able to hear the difference and there will be an optimum placement.  The rough side of the resonance control disc always goes down.

USING THE EXTRA DISCS 

Each standard Valid Points Resonance Control kit comes with three cones and five discs.  You will use three of the discs under three cones.  The two remaining resonance control discs are to be placed on top of your component to control case vibrations and resonances.  The discs should be placed near the center - usually about one to three inches apart.  

Remember: All discs are placed rough side down.

With the discs in place, tap lightly on the top of the component.  Adjust the position of the discs until the high-pitched ringing is eliminated.  If the top cover of your component is very large, you may need an extra disc or the heavier 1-inch resonance control discs which may be purchased separately.  The Super Tuning Kit comes with four 1-inch control discs.  When the Valid Points are properly placed, you will hear a much deeper, wider, and more focused sound stage, faster dynamics, more detail and much better controlled bass.  The improvement will be quite dramatic.  Any changes you make now in your system, you will be able to hear immediately!

Happy Listening,

Four Step Cleaning System - Active Enzyme Treatment

With Prelude, you will hear a cleaner, more transparent soundstage, with better harmonics and improved dynamics, top to bottom. There are more nuances, more life, and more music in the recording than you know and Prelude will reveal them to you while establishing a more natural space for the performers to exist within.

Prelude Quartet contains everything you need for ultra-cleaning your LPs using your vacuum cleaning machine. Prelude gets down deeper into the grooves and removes any contaminants. The improvement in the sound is startling. You will be amazed at how much information an LP contains. ​

Four Easy Steps: The four steps are: enzyme cleaner, premixed vinyl cleaner, ultra-pure water rinse, and Step 4 High Resolution Rinse. Each step has its own dedicated brush. ​

Note: After the first complete cleaning, you only need to rinse the LP before playing it each time. No need to repeat all the steps unless the record gets dirty.

Once you hear the extraordinary results, you will be hooked. You won’t want to listen to your records without it. You could spend much, much (10x) more money and time on other aspects of your system and never get this level of improvement. If you want everything an LP can give you, you must try Prelude Quartet. ​

Here is one customer's comment: "I won't use anything else ever again. I'll scour the earth if I have to to have this product. It is just the best record system ever!"

Magnetic Optimizer for LPs, Discs, Cables & Speaker Drivers

Magnetic fields and static electricity can greatly affect audio and video playback equipment and source material. The Talisman temporarily dissipates magnetic fields and static electricity allowing the phono cartridge or laser reader to transmit a purer, more accurate signal.

Distortion will be lowered and the sound will be more realistic. The soundstage will open up with improved depth and transparency. You will get more information without glare or harshness. Dynamics will improve and the harmonics will sound more natural. With video, you will get improved colors, focus and depth of image.

The Talisman requires no batteries or power cords and never needs recharging.

Brutus Award
Positive Feedback Online - "...definite improvement in transparency, sound staging and imaging, and harmonic rightness with the Talisman...you'd have to be quasi deaf or adamantly unempirical to miss the benefits....I've reached the point where I don't listen to LPs on my Proscenium Black Diamond without using the Talisman, which I hereby dub 'Walker's Wonderful Wand'! I wouldn't be caught dead without mine..."

FOR LPs:

Warning:  Keep the Talisman the recommended distance away from the record. Moving it closer will diminish or eliminate its effect. Do not touch the record with the Talisman. Do not allow the Talisman to get near the cartridge as it will disrupt the magnets in the cartridge. Do not sit the Talisman on sensitive electronic components. Rest it on your rack, table or the floor

Improves Transmission of Fine Audio & Video Signals

We start with ultra-pure silver that is specially processed and made into long micro-flakes. The silver flake is suspended in an organic fluid chosen for its dielectric and temperature characteristics and excellent sound.

E-SST will dramatically improve the sound and/or video of any system. The highs will be more extended, cleaner, clearer and better focused. The mid-range will be more transparent with more articulation and detail, yet without harshness or glare. The bass will be stronger, tighter, and quicker. The soundstage will take on a more natural presence. With video systems, the sound improvement will be matched by the improvements to the video. Look for a cleaner, more three-dimensional picture with richer color.

Use E-SST to treat: power cords, speaker cables, interconnects, tubes, video connectors, fuses and more. Apply E-SST to every connection in your audio and video systems for a huge improvement.

Customer Review: CONGRATS!! And what a difference!! It seems as though the Dynamic Contrasts of the music that goes thru my mastering system are now TOTALLY Original-Recording limited---not cutting-system related--------especially the lowest-level tiny signals and the Impulse-type sounds like castanets and triangles……………

Treating Interconnects

Use one of the supplied applicators to apply a very small amount of SST to the male end of the interconnect. Spread it thinly on about ½ or ¾ of the length of the center pin. Apply SST to the outside only of the female end in a thin even coat.  Now, plug in your interconnect and listen. On XLR interconnects, apply to male pins only.   DO NOT put the applicator into the RCA or you will short it out. 

Treating Tubes

Break-In Period

Sound and video will be greatly improved in two to three hours; full break-in after eight to ten hours of playing time.  You may connect and disconnect six to eight times before needing to reapply. Before reconnecting, it is beneficial to take a used applicator with the SST wiped off (some will still be embedded in the applicator) and spread over the connector. This will help to distribute the SST that remains on the connector. If you reapply it, make sure there is not excessive SST on the connector. If there is, clean it as directed above before applying more. If you have any questions about how to use this product, call us.

Cleans CDs and DVDs

Walker Audio has developed a new product that improves the sound of CDs and the sound and picture quality of DVDs by as much as 30%.

Vivid is called an "enhancer" because it does much more than clean the discs. It contains a cleaning agent, optical enhancer and de-static properties. This allows the CD or DVD player to receive more of the information that is on the disc and reproduce it with astonishing clarity. It removes any release film from the disc and has an optical enhancer that renders the plastic transparent so the laser can correctly read the information on the disc. This means you see and hear what was recorded instead of the error correction system's interpretation of it.

Keith Jarrett, world-renown musician, says about Ultra Vivid that it "...retrieve(s) more information from your ...CDs, and DVDs than you will have ever heard or thought possible...."
