Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning

Hi group,I own an Audio Desk Systeme ultrasonic cleaner; I have a question for other owners:After it finishes its cleaning cycle, do you rinse your records in distilled water? I have not been doing that, but wonder if I should include that step in my cleaning regimen.The  ADS cleans vinyl ultrasonically, in water that does include a cleaning solution.

Interested in your experience,Thanks.....

I use distilled water after a manual scrub, not ultrasonic.

If you are not hearing clicks, static, just enjoyable music, and the stylus is not digging anything out of the grooves, I would not do anything else.

Audiophilia nervosa is a psychological disorder. There is no vaccine. There is however a foolproof cure. Its called: relax. Realize your system sucks, always has, always will, and there simply is nothing you can do about it, because nothing ever is perfect. That's just the way things are. Situation normal. So: relax.
