Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ?

Mosin,

Still, I'm not changing my rituals just because half my records were played by some guy who used a ten dollar cartridge on a Magnavox console. ;)

It the previous owner didn't damage the LP too much, all that cleaning still pays off.

The previous owner of my new (used) car ran it through one of those speedy brush filled automated car washes. Today I got the front end back to factory condition with a bit of TLC, some Zymol and Mothers wax and lots of rags.

Hang in there with the LP regime, they may think we're crazy but they can't help noticing how shiny our cars are :^).

By far the best groove cleaning machines regardless of water as long as it is distilled once without any other issue and clean works miracles I am referring to the Monks type RCMs.

That's what I have, except it's the German version of the Keith Monks

This is the rest:

What Guidocorona heard was Duke Ellington which had been cleaned once with VPI and two additional times with the machine in the link (above) with Walker and AI.

The fourth time, the cleaning that made the "extreme" difference Guido speaks of, is the new Enzyme cleaner from Record Research. I've been using it as a beta sample for a month or two and although it's only (1) wash and (1) rinse (2 steps total-SIMPLE !), it performs better than anything else I've tried.

I think they are shipping now and this new stuff is sold under the MoFi trademark at Music Direct.

I just got 24 bottles and assume this production run is identical to the Beta. I should know this next week, although Raul is here tomorrow with his new preamp so it will probably be crazy.
