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.

I agree, and switched also. The beta test of AIVS went very well, I'm impressed! So, anyone want some RRL?

I'm not sure I want to give up RRL completely. I have some AIVS coming and can't wait to try it based on the results posted by the testers. But I suspect that after a good cleaning with the two step AIVS process that the RRL will work fine for maintenence cleanings and I trust it to not put anything back on the vinyl. It will be interesting to see how the RRL SVW compares with the AIVS RCF when used as a rinse.

I'm with Dan_Ed. I'm going to try AIVS of course, but I'll probably always use RRL as the final step. I *know* it won't leave anything on my records.

Joe, when you get the Wally (should be today/tomorrow they said), feel free to put some RRL in the box and wing it back to me! ;-)

Let me ask this. If, on the one hand, there was Product A and you were not certain whether it "left anything on the record" and, on the other hand, there was product B in which you had full confidence that it left nothing on the record, why use Product A, at all - at least on a record that wasn't anything but a testing candidate?
