VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine from Soundstage Direct Sweepstakes

Register to win a VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine from Soundstage Direct (MSRP $649.99) we are giving away.

According to the company:

The HW-16.5 is the standard in affordable record cleaning machines but neither its build quality nor its cleaning power has been compromised. Its high-torque, 18 RPM turntable motor is more than capable of withstanding the pressure of heavy scrubbing during extended cleaning sessions, and its 35-second cleaning cycle per side makes quick work of even the dirtiest records. Now with self aligning vacuum suction tubes for even more accurate cleaning, the HW-16.5's high-powered vacuum ensures quick, deep cleaning.

The newly designed vacuum pickup tube automatically adjusts to accommodate records of any thickness. The internal fluid collection system is made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion, and the fully enclosed design prevents splashing. In the VPI tradition, all components are extra heavy-duty and professional grade.

"I have found the HW-16.5 to be an outstanding performer. The record surfaces are microscopically clean and are so pristine they look new!" -- Bert Whyte, Audio Magazine

****STEROPHILE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER****

Clean your records with the HW-16.5 and hear what you've been missing. Includes:
Built in dust cover 8oz bottle of VPI cleaning fluid & cleaning brush

I would absolutely LOVE to have this product!! I have an extensive collection of vinyl records that need to be properly cleaned. Lots of individuals will enter, I'm sure, but only one can win--hopefully me!!!

becgm's picture

I'll take it. I can't seem to clean a record without the annoying pops and crackles that say to all your friends "I didn't know what I was doing, so now the record sounds like crap."

carne-adovada's picture

Can't wait to win this contest!

nicklane1's picture

Hope this is in my future.

EndersShadow's picture

Would love to own this baby to clean my dads LP collection so they can live on.

Packgrog's picture

I've been wanting to get one of these for ages, but have just had other priorities. Of all the sweepstakes on this site, THIS is the one I most desperately wish to win. The KAB EV-1 is effective for the cost, but tedious to the point of discouraging me from bothering with records at all. The VPI 16.5 would change that.

I know that I plea in the comments won't make a lick of difference, but man do I want one of these! *prays to the vinyl gods*

dnsnlsn's picture

Pick me!

Brian Henkel's picture

Yay!

Oliver A.'s picture

Uncle Oswald's picture

This would be awesome for our listening parties - lots of cool R&B, old-ass country and assorted oddness coming through these part few weeks: Lottie Adams, anyone?

 

I called the number on the back of the sleeve when we spun this for the first time and guess who I spoke to? Lottie Adams! Cool and surreal at the same time.

Gotta love that vinyl!

Metalhead's picture

That machine is the key to vinyl bliss.  Please give me one, and I will sing the praises of Stereophile--I've read it for 21 years--Soundstage Direct, and the fine folks at VPI.
