Aquafina for record cleaning

No Pepsi, Coke!

Michael Fremer, long-time vinyl advocate/columnist at Stereophile, currently
runs a TT setup that cost a bunch more than my Porsche (and that's assuming
he got it at less than half MSRP). As to the issue of residue, I'm assuming
everyone uses an RCM that reduces residue from the rinsing agent to the
vanishing point. I'll leave it to others to worry about what's left behind :-)

That's it? He writes for a magazine and has more money to spend so he's the expert? As I said, everyone is free to do as they wish.

Sorry I didn't answer the question to your satisfaction, Dan-ed. But thanks for being so open-minded :-)

Dan asked why Fremer's word on water quality is definitive and you quote the price of his turntable?

That's awesome, dude...

By analogy, someone who owns a Porsche and writes magazine articles must drive like Schumacher.
