Hi Dave,

The last group of samples were mailed out on Thursday or Friday of last week, so you should be receiving your samples soon. If they don't show up by Thursday, please let me know, and I'll re-ship samples to you. Thanks for your interest and I look forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
Paul
Hi, Paul. Just received it, and realized that all my records (anything I care to listen to, at least) are pretty darn clean already. Need to hit a used record store to pick up some candidates, I'll report back. Thanks, Dave
Dopogue,
Play one of those "pretty darn clean records", then clean it with Paul's two-step (kind of sounds like a dance), and play it again. I've been cleaning my very clean records with this stuff and am hearing a big improvement. Like you, I also just picked up some used and dirty LP's to test with this stuff, and am anxious to see how it does on records that have not been well cleaned prior to this.
Dear Paul: I agree with 4yanx, Motdathird and Sean. I don't want to talk more about, I thing almost is saying.
I'm a little worried about an important issue with your formula: it's works like an equalizer or it really works ?,
all of your beta testers experienced what they thing was an improvement and they like it: after using your formula the sound was more accurate to the recording?, nobody knows it: they like it ( but in this forumm I learn that at least the 90% of the people likes the equalized sound, they use tube electronics: equalizers. ).
I think that you have to test your formula, too, with the people that can know if what they hear is accurate to the recording or is not: ask to David Wilson ( Wilson speakers ), Tony Faulkner ( Green Room Production ), Joe Harley ( Audioquest/Groove Note Recordings ), John Atkinson ( Stereophile ) if your formula it is an improvement and accurate to the recording and let us to know their answers: all those people were at the live
recording and they really knows about it and only they can tell us the true. This is a critical issue for the people that loves the music and that cares about music sound reproduction at home. So, do it you a favor and do something for us and for the people that you ask for a free help. I'm stay tunned for your answer and effort in this way.
Best regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
Rauliruegas,
What makes you think the people using the test formulas don't know what the recording is supposed to sound like? Are you saying the testers are unqualified? Are your comments directed at hearing acuity, the quality of the playback system, the condition of the vinyl? Quite frankly, I don't understand your point. Why would any of the industry people mentioned in your post be any better a judge of whether or not the product works than anyone else? Does their "stamp of approval" make it any better? What matters is if the people who choose to use it, like how it works. I doubt very much that anyone of the above would submit the product to any more of a rigorous test than the average user with a record cleaning machine and a large vinyl collection.
You keep talking about people liking an "equalized" sound, and this product is an equalizer. Have you used it? Do you use any record cleaning products? Don't presume to pass judgement on this or any other record cleaning product unless you have tried it yourself. Further, do not presume to pass judgement on what people in this thread or this forum like or don't like. You speak in generalities. Your opinions are welcome here, but keep them in the context of what is being discussed. Have you spoken to every one of the testers? It would seem that you have in order to make the conclusion that everyone has heard an improvement and that everyone likes an equalized sound. That conclusion cannot be gathered from the comments thus far in this thread.
