I don't have a huge collection of singles, maybe 150 or thereabouts and all have only got a sweep with a carbon fibre brush. Many of my singles never made it to an LP, and many "b" sides are a great listen too.
Most 45’s sounded noisy and crackly and not any where close to the sound quality on an LP.
First to be cleaned on my ClearAudio Smart Matrix from my teenage years was an extremely well played Cozy Powell "Dance with the Devil", and I was astonished at the improvement, surface noise, crackles etc had almost all disappeared and sound stage width and depth matched my clean LP's and overall sound quality was up there too.
Definitely worth investing in if you have a stash of singles that are in need of a proper cleaning.
