RE: MD: Head Cleaners (were Lens Cleaners)

2000-12-05 Thread Tony Antoniou


Actually, that may not be the case dude. I checked out the Australian
website and they've got the head cleaner there, but not the lens cleaner.
That was actually on the US website, but no head cleaner listed up there. So
I wouldn't draw the conclusion that if it isn't on the web, it's not in the
respective country. Just ask your local Sony dealer, rather than the corner
shop, that's all 3#-)


Adios,

A They do make a head cleaner too dude - MD-8HCL

Thank you both for the information.  I note that Richard is in New Zealand
and Tony in Australia, while I'm in the U.S., so it might very well be that
Sony's lens and head cleaners are marketed there but not here, or they
weren't marketed here back when I was looking for such.

My lens cleaner, purchased off the rack at Best Buy, is from Maxell; my head
cleaner, bought from the late unlamented Minidisc Now, is by TDK.

I should know, I was incorrectly sold one by Townhall Sound Central (and
they refused to refund my money, I only had the option of exchange for
something else - bastards. Never buy from them!)

I feel a little lost here - as I'm not sure whether the above comment
relates to Lens or Head cleaners.  Sony definitely *DO* make an MD LENS
cleaner.

I've got a copy of Sony Pulse Magazine - a consumer catalogue of Sony
Products.  On the page with all the recording media including blank MDs and
tapes, it has a "Mini Disc Lens Cleaner", model number seems to be MD-64CL
or something (it's pretty small).  There are NO Sony HEAD cleaners listed.

Larry asked,

| Now there is also head cleaner.  Although the lens doesn't not touch the MD,
| doesn't the head actually make contact?

Yes, and the head cleaners apparently are just soft, non-abrasive lubricators.
I've seen people say that they're as damaging to the record head as lens
cleaners are to the lens, but perhaps they were just confusing the two.

Do any of the MD manufacturers have anything to say about the use of head and/or
lens cleaners? Do they recommend them or not?

I'm not sure whether by "MD manufacturers" James meant hardware or disc
manufacturers.  Since Maxell and TDK makes such cleaners, at least two disc
makers must recommend them.

Hardware manuals never even mention the things as far as I know.

I was actually asking about the recommendations of hardware manufacturers.
Sorry for the confusion. No surprise that the makers of the cleaners recommend
them.  :)
