@chayro Thanks for the tip on Gruv Glide!
Yep! I am sold!
I purchased it and it arrived yesterday. I followed the instructions, and my wife and I listened to a Neil Diamond record post ultrasonic cleaning and then a before and after test using the Gruv Glide. The music was definitely more musical, more liquid sounding in the midrange and high end, the bottom was a bit more pronounced. No change in detail, just more musical. The difference is more than subtle and noticeable when doing the comparison. Without comparison, the system just sounds a lot better, without a focus on exactly what is better.
As for static, I did a tough test. I played the treated record without the static draining tonearm brush and at the end of playing, there was no static. Zero, non-whatsoever.
The only catch here is getting the right amount on the record. Too little and it has little, if any effect. The instructions state to use it sparingly, which is what I am doing. As such, I haven’t had a case where I applied too much. I might give that a try and see what happens.
Overall, I am going to treat all my LP’s with this. Seriously, in this hi-fi game, anything that works this well usually sells for $50+ for 25 records, not $30 for 150 records. I am definitely sold on this!
