Can't add much to Lugnut's views except an endorsement, particularly of the AIVS fluids. Harry Weisfeld (VPI) posted his own home-brew recipe some time ago on Audio Asylum: Take gallon container, add 16 oz. of Isopropyl alcohol, fill it with distilled water, add about 8 drops of Dawn. I've used it, and it works fine, but the AIVS stuff is significantly better. Dave
