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

Send it my way!
Everybody wants one!
My collection of mostly 2nd hand thrift shop treasures would certainly sound a lot better if I had one of these.
Looks like a good way to quickly clean records.
Please let me win!! :-D
Would be nice to win...
I have LOTS of dirty records.
I sure could use a better cleaner.
Dirty records are at the root of every problem.
I'm in!
gimmie gimmie gimmie
SO many dirty records in my basement... pleeeeeze!!!!!
I love my classic 1. Would be great next to a 16.5!
really need one :)
And could really use this!
Please!
Just keep it clean.
I'm obviously not here to enter! Good luck everyone!
Lots of dirty records
only for US citizens.
This machine would make my records happy!
They're so dirty man, I got to clean my babies.
I could be the winner!!
If you own records, you need one of these!
I really want this!
earing music not sound of dust
Regards
I'm in!
Most contests are bunk. This one, however, is legit. I would love to have one of these....
Geez! I need this even more than in ear headphones.
I just got back into vinyl and I really need one of these. Thanks,
My record store has one of these puppies and i would love to have one at home too ;)
I'd give it a good home.
I want it
nothing like clean records!
I USE A DIY GEM DANDY, WONDER IF THIS'LL BEAT IT?
That one looks different than mine. I want that want too!
hopefully a winner
Thanks for running this sweepstakes! It'd sure have a good home here at Casa David, I have thousands of records and only a discwasher!
I'll take one.
I've been drooling over one of these for a long time. Would love to win one!
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!!!
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."
Can't wait to win this contest!
Hope this is in my future.
I really need one of these!
My LPs will be very thankful
Sign me up! Love the vinyl...
Want it so bad!
Would love to own this baby to clean my dads LP collection so they can live on.
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*
Pick me!
Yay!
Nice.
Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie, Please!?!
So fresh and so clean...
Please please me! I have a VPI Classic and lots of dirty records!
I have a Spin Clean and would love one of these to somewhat automate the process.
Oh yeah! Let me replace this old beat up spin-clean.
Oh sweet geebus. That would be AWESOME!
I just bought a Pro-Ject turntable to play and old collection of records we were given. This would be great to clean them up! Thank you in advance if I'm a winner.
Fingers Crossed
Count me in!
Hope to win this one!!!
My 400+ records would benefit greatly from having one of these!
I need it!
I believe this is mine
I could use one
This would be great!
I have a lot of early vinyl releases from the late sixties to the late eighties that could use a good cleaning
Count me in.
I use my dad's whenever I get the chance, would be great to have one of my own!
My used record collection is growing. I would use this thing all the time!!
Remember, cleanliness is next to Godliness! Surely you would wish to guide a poor pilgrim on the path to Nirvana...
I can't wait to clean my records with this!
This would be awesome!
Send it to me!
I need this!
Agreat way to keep me coming back for more
This would be too cool...so long, trusty Discwasher!
to clean my records, they sorely need it.
Hope I win.
i gonna clog this thing with yardsale mildew and cardboard remnance.
My vinyl collection yearns for one of these!
I've wanted a VPI cleaner to go along with my Scout II for too long!
Good luck to me!
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!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful analog product.
Cheers!
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.
What a fantastic giveaway. Everybody could use one of those babies!
nice machine! hope I win.
I have a lot of vinyl that needs cleaning!!!!
THanks!
Let me get this. I"m poor right now and my records are staticy. Thx :)
...and cursing the effects and drooling over the possibility of having the real deal which I just can't afford right now. Please! I could use this so badly!
but could use a second as a wedding gift. Thanks.

I made the mistake of storing records in the basement. I need to clean them and the VPI machine would be perfect! I've seen one in action and it's excellent.
Just started getting into vinyl. Would look great next to my new turntable!
Just getting back into vinyl a VPI record cleaner would be a great addition.

And that's good.
...dirty records. I was playing some for a lady one night and she said "what's that noise?" and it really changed the mood, if you know what I mean.
In a good way.
Would love to have this, surely better than my now gone Nitty Gritty.
Good luck to everyone!
Man I would love one of these....
No more dirty discs.
