Fluids....


What type of cleaning fluid is preferred for cleaning your records? Record Time Musical Surroundings is the brand being utilized with this record cleaning machine. It appears to work well. A bottle of Mofi record cleaning fluid is on standby when this bottle is finished. Interested in what the consensus is from the fine people of Audiogon.

Process, process, process...

Everyone has their thing that works for them. And its because the process of working with that fluid on their machines make sense.

I've been using L'Art du Son for several years. Read good things about it, and figured out a process that works for me with the fluid and my Okki Nokki. Three wash cycles, each with a 3 min soak and different brushes. Then three rinse cycles, again with different brushes.

They sound great!

Having said that, as I am buying more old records, have been looking in new options to help deal with mold...
Audio intelligent #6...when using RCM...otherwise, for a quickie it’s the old discwasher d4...the original, not the new junk....red bottle. Also, Vinyl Revival for a quick manual scrub down.
Keith Monks discOvery with the KM RCM works for me.
If good enough for the Library of Congress, BBC, etc. …
When I apply the fluid with a brush I can see the whitish decavitation. And then the arm and nozzle suck up the dirty fluid one grove at a time. I understand that Better-Records also uses the KM RCM as well (wt the Walker).

I think most products designed to clean or home made formulas used in record cleaning machines all work well within reasonable expectations. 
The caveat here is not the effectiveness of your choice of cleaning solution..... but the effectiveness of the rinse and its ability to remove both the cleaning fluids and the crud loosened when soaked with those fluids plus no recontamination. 
I've owned a Loricraft for decades....with out a doubt the rinse cycles are the most critical for the greatest result.....wash....rinse, rinse,rinse.
