One final revealing bit: I have three old Pete Seeger records on the Smithsonian Folkways label that I picked up somewhere, one of which had what looked like small whitish dots on both sides — not more than a couple dozen, but enough to be easily seen. These looked like droplets of paint but were possibly bits of paper from their sleeves. I couldn’t chip them off with my thumbnail, and even soaking the records in distilled water and alcohol didn’t loosen the spots so they could be removed. So I decided to clean the record with both the Audio Desk System Pro X and Degritter Mk II to see if either of them could do the trick. Even on its longest cycle, the Pro X didn’t remove or loosen any of the dots on either side of the record. I expected the same from the Degritter Mk II, but I was surprised that when I inspected the record after cleaning and drying, about three quarters of the dots were gone, and the rest could be lightly rubbed off the surface. I then ran the record through the Degritter Mk II a second time, and it looked and sounded great.
