RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide

Ok,

I was the guy who was unhappy with my vacumn cleaned records a few weeks ago and I think I found the answer.

After cleaning with super wash and regular wash, then vinyl zyme, then regular wash, then groove glide,(I know it is time consuming!), I got to tell all of you guys that my records are Dead Quiet and Detail has improved alot. The soundstage perspective is a little more like sitting in row 35 versus row 20, but the smoother detailed sound and presentation is nice.

Just thought I would let others know that I tried these products in case others of you are interested. Definitely worth the money spent.

Sean, "Anything that isn't neutral (pH) will leave behind some type of residue" There are gases that will disassociate in water and alter it's pH. HCl and NH3 are two that come to mind. The first will give a very low pH, the second will be somewhat basic. Remove the solvent (water) and there will be no residue. Window cleaners tend to use surfactants that are volital and will evaporate; hence the 'no steak' claim.

Styx, Do you mean a reverse osmosis machine? I too have one and am uncertain whether steam distilled or it would be more pure water. I did try distilled water and it as rinses but heard no difference.

Tbg, we have a water purification system from the Pure Water Inc.
It makes 1 gallon of distilled water in 4 hr.
We usually take this water for drinking and cooking.
The coffee now tastes like coffee, especially with Lavazza.;)

I suspect we have the same. Our area has high sodium. As you say, coffee tastes right. I know the sodium, mercury, organisms, etc. cannot get through the membrane, so it probably is the same as distilled water where water is brought to a boil and the steam then condensed.
