Anyone wanting the cover included right away should choose the \"Smart Matrix Silent + Cover\" variant.

Clearaudio specifically insulates the extraction turbine against noise – and that's exactly where most record cleaning machines fail: they clean impeccably while sounding like a wet-vac in the stairwell. Add to that the platter's clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation, which guides the brush through the groove from both directions, including against release-agent residue left over from the pressing plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA machine that washes one side per pass – flipping the record is manual work.

Straight talk: it washes one side at a time. Anyone working through stacks at speed and not keen on flipping is better served by the smart double matrix or the Double Matrix Professional Sonic.

A clean pad noticeably works better than one that's already seen half your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CSP130 enough on its own, or do I also need wet cleaning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the daily routine, it's enough. The CSP130 removes loose dust and static charge, and doesn't aim to do more.

Dry, you lift off loose dust before playback; damp with cleaning fluid, you dissolve fingerprints and residue. It's important to just dampen the cloth and not soak it: too much liquid washes dirt deeper into the groove instead of lifting it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn which direction do I wipe across the record?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways in the direction of the groove, meaning in a circle following it. Wiping across the grooves pushes particles into the walls, where the stylus finds them later. Light pressure is enough; the microfibre picks up the dust on its own without you needing to scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the cloths replace a record washing machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, they complement it.

Wipe the brush against the bottle neck so it's only damp, and draw it two to three times over the stylus tip, moving away from the tonearm.

The thick padding under the velvet soaks up liquid and only dries out slowly — that eventually starts to smell and spreads more than it lifts on the next use.

No hand crank, no suction nozzle, no wiping with cloths.

White suits a setup that isn't meant to look like technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Vinyl Cleaner Premium?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost record washing machines are good at one of two things – scrubbing or ultrasound. The Premium combines both: four microfiber rollers mechanically loosen the coarse dirt, the ultrasonic bath pulls out of the groove what a cloth never could, and high-pressure nozzles rinse the loosened dirt away. Two fans then dry the record without contact. Because nothing is vacuumed off, the LP doesn't build up a static charge – so it doesn't attract fresh dust the moment it comes out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA result you can hear: less crackle, quieter grooves, more air between the notes – especially with flea-market finds and older pressings. Operation is deliberately simple, one button is enough, the electronics handle the rest. The fifth generation also brings the in-house Silent Core One drive system: more powerful, audibly quieter, and with a noticeably shorter drying time than its predecessor.

The contact area can be adjusted on the wash unit, as can the brush pressing pressure via a slider. That way, every record gets exactly the treatment it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow loud is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extraction turbine sits inside the housing and is explicitly designed to run quietly; clearaudio doesn't publish a decibel figure. So it's not a whisper-quiet machine, but far from a workshop vacuum cleaner either – it runs without any problem in a living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference to the double matrix professional SONIC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smart double matrix takes over the basic idea but deliberately does without automatic cleaning programs, the LED fill-level display and the Sonic vibration modules. In return, it's noticeably more compact and affordable at around 5.4 kilograms. Two-sided cleaning in one wash cycle is retained in both cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a clamp to protect the label?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, a sturdy clamp with label protection is included in the scope of delivery. It keeps the label dry during the wash and centres the record cleanly on the platter. Cleaning fluid isn't included – you choose the one that suits your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Clearaudio smart double matrix from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we use record washing machines ourselves in everyday life and tell you honestly which one suits your collection, space and budget.
