Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner


I have a kLaudio lp200 ultrsonic record cleaner

I recall a few comments on reading threads about some special high grade distilled water

i can't seem to find anything via an audiogon search
klaudio says plain distilled is what they use

woukd anyone like to chime in with recommended top grade distilled waters
what properties make these special water brands stand out and the advantage to the sound of the records

a link or two would help

on a side note Klaudio is having a sale on their silencer and I went ahead and bought one
anybody using this silencer?

thanks

Only ever use premium quality oxygen-free, cryogenically treated, zero ion pure, RoHS compliant 100% H2O variety water.  Only use that water after all the bad electrons and lithium grease has been filtered out.  Don't use cheap imitation water. 

For best results, use water that has been removed from vacuum mines after vacuum mine implosion accidents.  Many think that idea sucks, but performance is much better than artificial H2O.  Compliments will rain down.  Using artificial water will result in low performance as will artificial vacuum. 

Don't use water on mint records because everybody knows that mints melt in water.
Amen, Coolhunter.  The problem with a lot of audiophiles is that if someone hears, or claims to hear, an improvement in sound, everybody MUST follow because they don't want others to think they can hear subtle differences.And even if they can hear a difference doesn't mean it's an improvement.  MOST LIKELY, changes are based on a change in resonance somewhere in the equipment chain.
The Disc Doctor says distilled.  That's the final answer.  Nobody knows more about record cleaning.
Has anyone tried oxygen free distilled water?  Especially the cryo-treated version?  Maybe the oxygen free distilled water that came out of the vacuum mines before the great implosion?
