It's hard to say, because I only used such liquid systems very briefly in the 70s and 80s and can't remember which discs it was ever used on. But, I have used the VC 2 Alu to bring flea market records and those that went through hard times on cheap turntables in a lively youth at the end of the 60s/beginning of the 70s from 'unplayable' to 'near mint', for which the Knosti no longer had any effect and which I had already given up on. I therefore assume that the Pro-ject can also cope with these residues, as they do not contain defects per se, but only dirt. The device is super and I would never give it away. If you love your discs and see them as more than just a slightly anachronistic sound carrier system (and also have a high-quality phono line), you can't get around a device like this. Nothing, but nothing, comes close to this machine in terms of effectiveness. Be sure to use the recommended liquid (in my case best diluted 15:1 with Aqua Dest). If a pane is not damaged, no matter how dirty it is, it will be fine after a thorough cleaning. In the case of heavy soiling, let the cleaning fluid soak in for 1 minute before vacuuming and apply and distribute it for several revolutions with the enclosed goat hair brush using light pressure. In both directions of rotation.

Hello Martinrudo. I don't know the product you mentioned, but I can tell you that I am very satisfied with the Pro-Ject. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio of this device is top.

The difference is quite simple: The VC-S2 works according to the suction principle, in which the "dirt" is sucked out of the grooves with the help of the cleaning concentrate. With the AudioDesk Glass, the dirt is dissolved by means of ultrasound in a water bath. The VC-S2 costs relatively little, but the result is very comparable. Only if you really use a high-end turntable and cartridge to play the record will you hear a difference between the two cleaning variants. The Audiodesk Gläss cleans and dries the records independently and is therefore a little slower, but does the job almost fully automatically. With the VC-S2, cleaning requires a little more effort, as both sides have to be cleaned and vacuumed individually. So the focus is mainly on convenience. The result of both principles is very close to each other and more a topic of dispute among enthusiasts than a really audible difference in a blind test.
