Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

I use the "perfection" steamer with absolutely no deleterious effects. If you hear extra noise, I suggest that you steamed some extremely dirty "garage" records and may have moved the dirt to a new place. Try steaming the same record again and see (hear) what happens

what you might be hearing is a bearing or platter noise versus the record. Do you hear the noise on any of your new or quiet vinyl? if so, see if it has a pattern with the revolution. on my gyrodec, when the oil level got a little low, i would hear a faint rub. Just an idea. I have used the steamer process and not heard the sound you discuss though i do have one album that resists all attempts so far to clean

Readers: Please do not sub-scribe to the notion that Steam Cleaning will absolutely remove all the offense sounds on a certain recording. It can not. Those noises related to a poor pressing or other manufacturing defects are there to stay ; no matter what cleaning process you use.

....And be awarie of false adds that claim more that any process under --- can produce.

Has anyone found a good source for pure water? I am in Florida and have not been able to find those mentioned. I just spent 2 hours calling around to labs and pharmacies but again came up "dry". (This list needed a pun!)

Any thoughts... please let me know.

Thanks,
Paul
