AudiogoN Forums: RRL Showed up at my door yesterday....

RRL Showed up at my door yesterday....

I just received my Record Research Labs Deep and Super vinyl wash. (I have only used the wash with my VPI brush and 16.5 so far-- I am waiting for my DD brushes.)

Right off I liked the way that the wash really appears (visually) to get into the grooves much more than the VPI fluid I have been using.

Now comes the cleaning test, Stevie Nicks Belladonna is much quieter and I want to say smoother -- I guess that's the word I am looking for.

On to Eva Cassidy -- (the Steve Hoffman copy of Songbird.) All I can say IS OH MY GOD. about the record and about the RRL fluid.

Needless to say, there is NO need for me to look any further I am SOLD on the RRL products!

Come on DD brushes-- get here! (here's a plug for www.diamondgroove.com)-- the owner is a really great guy to work with-- super friendly, and actually answers E-mails in a timely manner! Now if only the Canadian Post were a little quicker to the west coast....

I will be spending a lot of time listening to Lp's today!!!!

Happy Listening and a great day to all,

Squeaky Clean Focusedfx

Well, I certainly don't want to become the NEW brush Nazi! ;-) If you've tried both and prefer the Last, fine. I only know that, having tried both the Last brushes and the DD ones, the DD's work substantially better for me.

I do still use the Last brushes, for the first RRL Deep Clean on notably soiled records. I follow up with a Deep(er) Clean using DD brush #1. This keeps the DD brush from getting soiled too quickly. Since the DD pads are replaceable and I have plenty of spares, I'm not really worried about contamination. It's easily prevented.

As usual, YBMV.
