GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ?


Have you read this review of George Merrill's record cleaner in the latest 6Moons.com?http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/gem/dandy.html

Best ever record cleaner (according to the reviewer) and uses ordinary tap water for the rinse. Exclusively for garage sale purchases, or would you have the nerve to try it on an audiophile reissue, too?

Among all of us must be someone with access to a microscope of sufficient power and digital image capturing capability such that a "vacuum vs tap water-jet" post cleaning image comparison might yield more objective evidence in favor of one approach. Anyone in biotech or semiconductor industry with such access. Sounds as though a combination approach whereby water jet is used for deep cleaning followed by vacuum cleaning with ultra pure rinse might be ideal. I get nervous when I see the words "steam" and "vinyl LP" so close together. Can a steam advocate explain their procedure in sufficient detail as to allay any heat/vinyl concerns? Am I the only one worried about heat damage from steam?
