Steam cleaning records 2

Headsnappin: Thanks.

Wand Owners: I would appreciate users comments to understand what improvement the wand & rings make. If your a steamer all the better.

Sonofjim : Is your understanding the same as Heads ?

Readers: Do you think it possible to re-use the VPI wand , put 2 O rings under the tube holder and achieve the same results as the Walker tweak? I guess the rings can be had for about a buck , once its understood what they are composed of .

Headsnappin, here is what is posted on the Elusive Disk site:
"Two included rubber rings hold the record above the platter, removing unwanted contact and reducing the risk of additional contaminants coming into contact with the surface."

Now that tells me that the rings go under the lp, next to the cork mat. Or am I reading things incorrectly?

Thanks all for the clarification, I was not aware of that.

I've recently taken off my cork mat and exchanged it for an anti-static mat. Does anyone have any experience with with the static buildup (or lack thereof) when cleaning the LP resting on the o-rings?

I may purchase this tweak. In addition to the concern of the o-rings predisposing to warping when used with a steamer, I also wonder if the mat under the suspended disc would collect a lot of moisture from steam. I understand the wand can be used without the o-rings which may be the most sensible if a steamer is employed.
