Description

Preserve Your Hearing While Cleaning Your Records Like Professional: Loricraft PR64i Machine Is Precision-Engineered by SME in England, Operates with Incredible Quiet and Efficiency 

Nobody should lose any of their hearing or need to wear earplugs when cleaning their LPs. Offering exceptional quiet and efficiency, in combination with professional-grade performance and precision engineering, the Loricraft PRC61 record cleaning machine invites you to experience your vinyl like never before thanks to its reference-standard cleaning prowess that will rid the surfaces of your LPs from practically every kind of contaminant known. Made in England by SME from hand-selected parts, the 12.68 x 21.65 x 16.14-inch (HWD) PRC6i cleans and dries a side of an LP in approximately two minutes — meaning your record is ready to play when that time is elapsed. 

Evident by way of its robust albeit elegant appearance — a hand-crafted natural wood veneer cabinet completes a CNC-machined cabinet that instantly stands apart from the flimsier, plastic-dominated competition — PRC6i boasts the luxurious build quality that have made SME synonymous with perfectionist manufacturing. Its precision-constructed main spindle and bearing are housed in a robust phosphor bronze case. Its bearing spinning and high-torque motor are designed to last for years to come and, most importantly, to provide remarkable drive force to the platter. Hyper-accurate horizontal and yoke bearings on the vacuum arm ensure exacting movement across your records, while a custom gearing system delivers exceptional steering. Moreover, the arm yoke bearings are even engineered to prevent ingress contamination from your cleaning fluids. Every last detail of the 38.3-pound PRC6i has not only been deeply considered, but devised to operate with absolute synergy. 

Able to rotate in both forward and reverse directions so you can get at every nook and cranny in your records’ grooves, PRC6i gets into the crevasses of vinyl LPs with reference-grade aptitude. A double-ended pump system that affords a suction capacity of 18 liters of flow per minute — and which sees a pump mounted at either end of the motor — works in concert with the arm nozzle to create a watertight suction vortex that takes care of even the most offensive dust, dirt, debris, hair, and fingerprints. 

Operation is simple, fun, and addictive. Just manually apply cleaning fluid to your LP surface and manually brush it into the grooves as it spins on the platter. Then, via the thick flip switches on the top panel, PRC6i uses its vacuum arm to comb across your LP and effortlessly extract the contaminated fluid from the LP grooves and deposit it into an external waste jar. Loricraft’s minimal-residue approach will likely seem like a miracle to analog lovers familiar with other automatic machines. 

Sold with a bottle of concentrate and application brush, PRC6i can clean 7-, 10, and 12-inch LPs. If you have a large collection or are just seeking a machine that separates itself from the competition, PRC6i should have a place in your listening room.
