Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine
So using the advice of this and other forums, I purchased the surfactant Tergitol 15-S-9 and a small bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol to replace the record cleaning additive that degritter sells to add to the distilled water after degassing. Since only a few drops of the degritter solution are required, I figure that adding a couple of drops of the surfactant and of the alcohol sounds about right. What do you think?
Tergitol 15-S-3, and Tergitol 15-S-9 Surfactants. Post rinsing - maybe. Residue is so small likely inaudible, but some claim to hear differences. See Stereophile article which I find helpful. I’m not a fan of adding another machine especially with a large footprint to rinse like a VPI unit. Took a long look at the Record Doctor VI. Still on fence. |
@antinn What’s your ebook, like to check it out. Prior to the Stereophile article it was VERY CONFUSING!!! Add sufficient or not, if so which one? - so many to choose from, so many different opinions. To rinse or not, opinions on both sides also. I’m glad I’m at the near the end of deciding |
