@grooves this is a 6 year old thread also.
Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner
I have a kLaudio lp200 ultrsonic record cleaner
I recall a few comments on reading threads about some special high grade distilled water
i can't seem to find anything via an audiogon search
klaudio says plain distilled is what they use
woukd anyone like to chime in with recommended top grade distilled waters
what properties make these special water brands stand out and the advantage to the sound of the records
a link or two would help
on a side note Klaudio is having a sale on their silencer and I went ahead and bought one
anybody using this silencer?
thanks

@grooves- what version of the manual do you have? The one shown on the KL site is English Version 1.2 and says: "Use only distilled water to fill the reservoir. Detergents, tap water, and other additives are not recommended and may react with materials used in the system or cause mineral build-up...." I can check the manual that came with my machine- but the unit shown on their website (still up) looks pretty much identical to the unit I have here in terms of lack of switch on face panel, etc. |
@whart I looked it up also. I picked up a used LP200 a few months ago and downloaded the manual from the KLAudio web site. Since the unit has been discontinued for some time, it is sure to be the most current version of the manual. It clearly says to use distilled water. |
