Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

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.

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

I just bought two bottles of "PEAK Battery and Radiator Mineral-Free water" from Pep Boys. To my surprise, I found "scaling/fouling" in these two bottles that I bought!!

I wonder if I bought the right thing?
