That's funny, the vodka never makes it as far as the vinyl in Helsinki, though I believe that after enough of it the surface noise goes away, or no longer matters...;-)
This is a subject I've discussed with Duane Goldman (a/k/a the Disc Doctor) a couple times. 100% pure, 200 proof grain alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a good cleaner. However, Duane says that vodkas have numerous impurities which may not be safe for vinyl. (All vodka sold in the U.S. is charcoal filtered. Perhaps some of the impurities are carbons and hydrocarbons from the charcoal?)
Bottom line: using vodka on your vinyl may not be a very good idea.
The last group of samples were mailed out on Thursday or Friday of last week, so you should be receiving your samples soon. If they don't show up by Thursday, please let me know, and I'll re-ship samples to you. Thanks for your interest and I look forward to your feedback.
Hi, Paul. Just received it, and realized that all my records (anything I care to listen to, at least) are pretty darn clean already. Need to hit a used record store to pick up some candidates, I'll report back. Thanks, Dave
