RRL Showed up at my door yesterday....

I just received my Record Research Labs Deep and Super vinyl wash. (I have only used the wash with my VPI brush and 16.5 so far-- I am waiting for my DD brushes.)

Right off I liked the way that the wash really appears (visually) to get into the grooves much more than the VPI fluid I have been using.

Now comes the cleaning test, Stevie Nicks Belladonna is much quieter and I want to say smoother -- I guess that's the word I am looking for.

On to Eva Cassidy -- (the Steve Hoffman copy of Songbird.) All I can say IS OH MY GOD. about the record and about the RRL fluid.

Needless to say, there is NO need for me to look any further I am SOLD on the RRL products!

Come on DD brushes-- get here! (here's a plug for www.diamondgroove.com)-- the owner is a really great guy to work with-- super friendly, and actually answers E-mails in a timely manner! Now if only the Canadian Post were a little quicker to the west coast....

I will be spending a lot of time listening to Lp's today!!!!

Happy Listening and a great day to all,

Joe,

Your new rack seems similar to the Salamander Archetype or the DIY one on TNT, right? Do you have any ideas for making it more rigid? I've heard the Salmander tends to sway in the breeze, maybe better for a Linn than a Teres.

Two arm 340 in red coconut palm? Sounds yummy.

Back on topic (slightly). Maybe I'm using the Last brushes wrong. You're meant to hold onto the soft side and squeegy the RRL across the record with the plastic edge - right?

Time for a new thread on racks. I'll get on it now.

Plastic on plastic. You finally figured it out!!! The contours are there to get the deionized RO distilled Himalayan water off of the edge.

Joe,

Sounds really cool --but weren't you the guy that went into the Teres thing with a $2k limit in mind :) Red coconut palm sounds like a real interesting wood, have never seen any.

I am only teasin' with you 'cause I know what it's like! AA opened a "tape forum' and damn if it didn't get me to thinking about adding a reel to reel back into the system ~! Well I just HAD to buy one that I have wanted for years... it's on the way!

I have some really great copper alternatives as far as copper sheet goes, it is lexan based and it is really neat stuff... if you are interested in info let me know.

In order to not let this thread get way off course, my Disc Doctor brushes showed up Saturday!! I love them!!! and the RRL products are sooo good I used the rest of the VPI fluid to make cocktails with a splash of lp9 and a twist :)

Happy Listening everyone!

Fx,

I know what you mean! I saw that and the Audio Note kit forum. What the hell are they trying to do to us!

I've got real copper sheet - great rf/emi rejector. I started a new post, but it got so long I didn't put it up. Maybe tomorrow.

I got hom tonight and cleaned my new 4 Men with Beards copy of "The Electrifying Eddie Harris". I tried just using the VPI brush/fluid then RRL Vinyl wash. Left out the Super just to see what happenned. Sounds good so far, but tomorow I'll clean it right and see what happens.

You never know....
