I actually played a record yesterday, and using my VPI-16.5 cleaner, I noticed it took extra spins of the record to completely suck up the cleaning fluid; I had to put the record back on the machine and give it more than the customary 3 spins. I wonder if the 16.5 lost some of its punch. How do I troubleshoot that? Must find the manual and see if it says anything. If this behavior continues it could mean the VPI is on its way out. Hoping not.
