Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ?

You can find triple deionized water at any local triple deionized water store.

It must be then treated quadrupully with a reverse inverted submerged osmosis filter and finally double filtered with a triple stength, quintuple layered, sextupled backed, and septupled multi-bonded piece of cheese cloth.

Gruyere of course.

Good luck.

All this is interesting. Bear in mind that I also go to extremes with cleaning at times, but it does raise an observation...

We buy old records that someone played for years without cleaning, or if they did, they most likely used a Discwasher brush or washed them in the kitchen sink. Then, to top it all off, we get mad when someone snipes us, and gets the record (sight unseen) for only a hundred bucks. Sometimes we win, though. Whenever that happens, we immediately clean the record with the greatest care, and put it inside a brand new MFSL sleeve. It's a strange hobby that we're in. Still, I'm not changing my rituals just because half my records were played by some guy who used a ten dollar cartridge on a Magnavox console. ;)

Mosin,

It the previous owner didn't damage the LP too much, all that cleaning still pays off.

The previous owner of my new (used) car ran it through one of those speedy brush filled automated car washes. Today I got the front end back to factory condition with a bit of TLC, some Zymol and Mothers wax and lots of rags.

Hang in there with the LP regime, they may think we're crazy but they can't help noticing how shiny our cars are :^).

Hi REL and thank you. . . I suchly stand corrected on both counts, although I am not quite sure how Radon gas is related to sound in lps. . . Albert, used a Geiger counter on your lps lately? How I came up with hydrogen dioxide instead of dihydrogen monoxide is anyone's guess. . . perhaps age? My daughter is a Chem. E. . . She'll never forgive me! [grins!] G.

Albert,

You are correct. We do manage to get the job done, but I admit, we are a bit ocd at times. LOL
