Who we are

Perfect Vinyl Forever is a professional vinyl record cleaning service company. Our clients send their records to be cleaned with one of our two processes - UltraDeep 2.0 and Archival 3.0. The results are far better than music lovers can achieve with at-home cleaning equipment, at any cost.

Perfect Vinyl Forever’s commitment to our clients is based on innovation, convenience and results. We are the thought leaders at the forefront of vinyl record cleaning technology. We’ve designed and built the first commercial record cleaning system which is our platform for continuous improvement and innovation, resulting in greater musical experiences sourced from vinyl records. Additionally, our clients value the convenience and cost-effectiveness of our services. They avoid investing in more equipment and save countless hours of time they use to enjoy their music.

All records are contaminated with a wide variety of noise generating, music obscuring substances. Further, if left in place they contribute not only to sonic disappointment, but a significant increase in wear.  Perfect Vinyl Forever optimizes records using one of our two processes - UltraDeep 2.0 or Archival 3.0.

WHAT WE DO

UltraDeep 2.0 cleaning service is an affordable, five-step process that is perfect for improving records that are new or in very good condition. The UltraDeep ultrasonic cleaning and rinsing machine utilizes cavitation to deep clean your records. Your records will sound more transparent and dynamic, and have a noticeably lower noise floor accompanied by an audible reduction in pops and clicks.

Archival 3.0 cleaning service is a premium, nine-step process which significantly improves the sound quality of all vinyl records. PVF’s Archival 3.0 process will drastically reduce all sonic signatures of reproduced music. The resulting playback experience is significantly closer to the lacquer, 15 ips tape and master tape sonics.

ARCHIVAL 3.0

Perfect Vinyl Forever’s Archival 3.0 process adds a four step pre-treatment to our industry leading UltraDeep 2.0 process. Albums are placed in a protective record carrier then soaked in the first cleaning solution. This step safely removes the waxy, oily manufacturing residue that is a byproduct of pressing every vinyl record. This residue obscures the life-like musical details contained within the groove.

The records are rinsed in lab-grade ultra pure water then placed into the second cleaning solution. This step removes all of the organic and inorganic contaminants on the surface of the album. These contaminants contribute to the pops, clicks and crackle that interrupt the enjoyment of a pure musical reproduction. The records are rinsed again then physically cleaned with our UltraDeep 2.0 process.

Ultradeep 2.0

Perfect Vinyl Forever’s industry leading automated ultrasonic record cleaning machine provides unparalleled cavitational record cleaning results. The cleaning tank with a proprietary blend of cleaning solutions in lab grade ultra-pure water operates at 135 kHz for extremely fine cleaning of records.

The ultrasonic rinsing tank uses lab grade ultra-pure water and 220 kHz ultrasonic cavitation to ensure all cleaning agents and the finest contaminants are removed from the surface of your records.

The records are then dried in our triple-filtered record drying machine, placed in brand-new inner sleeves and safely returned for you enjoyment.

HOW WE DO IT

Consumer record cleaning machines have practical limitations preventing the complete optimization of vinyl records. Perfect Vinyl Forever uses a series of steps, based on proven best practices, that leverages the benefits of each step, while overcoming the limitations of consumer available approaches. To support the ideal processes, we manufacture the first commercial record cleaning equipment.

Due to the scale, cost and complexity of our commercial record cleaning equipment, it is impractical for individuals to buy and use it themselves. Therefore, the benefits of the Perfect Vinyl Forever process and equipment are offered through a record cleaning service. Our service is priced at $5 per record for the UltraDeep 2.0 process and $8 for the Archival 3.0 process. The Perfect Vinyl Forever value proposition is strong; our fees are 1/2 of the costs of approximating our processes, while still not achieving our results, in your home.

Why they need it

The grooves of untreated records contain likely contain manufacturing residue, vinyl fragments, stylus dust, oils, saliva, embedded and hardened dust, smoke, etc. The impact on your listening experience, and record and stylus longevity, is profound. Independent analysis has shown that playing properly cleaned records reduces groove and stylus wear significantly.

Even more profound are the improvements to your listening experience. Once all traces of the manufacturing residue (which is on the surface of every vinyl record pressed since 1948) is safely removed, all the detail, impact, air, resolution, imaging and emotion of the recording is revealed. Even brand-new, high quality audiophile albums will sound significantly better and last longer after being cleaned by one of Perfect Vinyl Forever’s record cleaning processes.
