| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, Your cited book from Wiley includes Chapter 7 High Speed Air Jet Removal of Particles from Solid Surfaces so my earlier suggestion to @lewm might have more merit than I thought! Not necessarily; if you read the chapter where the... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, We probably disagree on how hard these are to dislodge when they are micron size! I am not sure what you are trying to imply, but the book is very specific regarding the difficulty in removing particles that increases exponentia... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, I've got another million dollar question. Does the mere act of playing a record create new electrostatic charges? The triboelectric effect creates electrostatic charges when dissimilar insulators are rubbed together. Diamond a... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand, I read your referenced article, but all it said was: There are significant temperature effects on these properties, and cavitation itself will be dramatically affected with increasing temperature. There are no context or data as... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement @richardbrand May I just add that, according to the paper I referenced earlier, the size of the bubbles produced is also affected by temperature I was unable to find your linked paper, but it's common knowledge that higher temperature will im... | |
| Vacuum Record Cleaner Rreplacement To provide info regarding some of this discussion: Here is a very basic handout on the science of soap - ScienceofSoap.pdf. CMC is the surfactant concentration when the surface tension of the water decreases no further and the surfactant begins ... | |
| Some thoughts on record cleaning machines and alternatives @retiredaudioguy, I have wondered about using a few drops of dishwasher detergent in the distilled water rather that the photographic wetting solution- has anyone tried that Do not use machine dishwasher detergent. Its non-foaming but it use... | |
| AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts? The pre-eminent work on this subject was done 67 years ago - Preservation and Storage of Sound Recordings (Lemcoe, Picket, 1959). They analyzed 10deg off vertical (80deg) based on storage at 80F without being moved for 20-yrs with little effect ... | |
| Stylus cleaners @tomic601, Sorry just saw your post from about 10-days ago. Stylus cleaning is one of those areas I leave to everyone's own decision. There are many as addressed in this thread. However, if the record is well cleaned, the stylus should not req... | |
| Humminguru Nova FWIW: most nonionic surfactants used in record cleaners have two purposes: Wetting: Reduce the surface tension of water thereby allow the water to easily spread-out across the surface which is commonly called wetting. This wetting ability im... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback @richardbrand, Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know what a reflex clamp is? Is it one that uses a lever to grip on the spindle to exert downforce on the record? Yes, such as the SOTA clamp - Reflex Clamp – Sota Turntables. VPI tables have ... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback @richardbrand, The key to The Triboelectric Effect Series - AlphaLab, Inc is looking at the values and then comparing values to estimate the relative charge affinity between materials. For example, HDPE which is used for many (MoFi) record slee... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback @faustuss, Learning new term like "triboelectric series" and beating it like a dead horse as has been done here to rationalize your inaccurate assumptions, really isn’t very convincing. SAY WHAT! I merely presented data that may help explain... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback @richardbrand, Sorry, but I have found ChatGPT to be wrong so many times WRT to very technical that I dismiss it a valid source without cross examination of each reference. Otherwise, the nature of the Triboelectric series is fairly well underst... | |
| Dealing with Static on LP palyback @richardbrand, @lewm, FWIW - how air will be drawn down and across the record when spinning should follow this example: Laminar Flow Over a Spinning Disk | Ansys Innovation Courses How small particles drop from the air has been studied extensi... |
