Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning


My Cleaner Vinyl ultrasonic record cleaner arrived today and it’s impressive.

Everything I’d read indicated that ultrasonic was the way to go, and now I count myself among the believers. Everything is better - records are quieter, less ticks and pops, more detail etc.

All my records had been previously cleaned with a vacuum record cleaner and were well cared for. Nonetheless, the difference is obvious and overwhelmingly positive.

You may find this explanation of different purification processes helpful:  [url]http://www.emdmillipore.com/US/en/water-purification/learning-centers/tutorial/purification-techniqu...[/url] The source is a manufacturer of equipment used in labs and hospitals.
In my interview with the LOC, the preservation specialist suggested the D/I was sufficient for records, the main objective being to remove mineral content. 
I've been told you can buy reagent grade II at places like Cosco. 
The reagent grade 1 cannot be shipped to a residence. It's also more costly. I now only use it to mix fluids and for rinse steps on the Monks. I used standard supermarket distilled in the US machine. 

This discussion, has been most helpful for me.

I only hope others will find it in a similar way.

Thanks so much to terry9!
