Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas

I received my samples on Saturday. The first album I tried was my Johnny Hodges, "Blue Notes" which has some scratchiness that drives me crazy. I was expecting a miracle cleaner. After cleaning album still has the same scratchiness. In other words this is not a "miracle" cleaner(it won't fix worn out albums). I will keep looking for a better copy of Johnny. Other albums that I used for my test were from garage sales that I purchased that day and needed cleaning. I first used my normal popular solutions, which is also a 2 step process, on one side and Paul's solutions on the other. Visually I could tell that Paul's would remove all of the fingerprints and the other solution would only remove a portion.
I have tried this method on a few others and the results seem to be the same, Paul's visually look cleaner, which should mean cleaner sound. There is definitely less surface noise. I also have been very conservative on how much I have been using, so maybe I am not seeing the full benefit of these solutions. Would it fix my Johnny hodges? Who knows.
Paul I would like to try a larger sample 6-12 oz of each and I would like to reimberse you for the expense of the materials and postage.

Yes, Paul, I'd be happy to pay you for the larger quantity, too, and thanks for offering. Dave

Hi Paul,
I too would like a larger quantity and would be more than happy to reimburse you for any/all costs. Thus far I am very impressed with the promise your product holds. Thanks again.

Ok, so here is what we got going on tonight:
I pulled out 4 LP's, all of whom have known "issues" with noise. All of them have been in my collection since I was a teen/college student. They are:
Beethoven "String Quartet, Op.131" Bernstein/Vienna Philharmonic (DG 2531 077)
Bill Evans "New Jazz Conceptions" (Riverside RLP-223)
Santana "Caravanserai" (Columbia KC 31610)
Al Stewart "Year Of The Cat" (Janus JXS-7022)

The Bill Evans LP was cleaned using the two solutions several days ago and has been played twice since then. Before playing tonight, dry swept with Decca brush while on the table. All the other Lps were cleaned (both sides) tonight prior to playing.

There is no question that these formulai (formulas?) are very effective at reducing surface noise. All of the air and detail is restored to the LPs, and I think the reason we are hearing this is really very simple: CGMCM Clean Grooves Mean Clean Music. This two step process does a very good job of getting deep down into the grooves and lifting the grunge and getting it off the disc, allowing the stylus to track a nice clean groove. My stylus is staying cleaner, and in the case of the Al Stewart LP, I hear stuff again on it that I have not heard since the day the seal was broke on it in 1977. It's not changing whats on the vinyl, but it's cleaning the vinyl to a degree that allows me to listen to the music, and not the dirt and dust and junk that has gotten into the grooves over the years.

The Evans disc sounds just as quiet and good with just a sweep of the dry brush prior to playing.

I have treated/cleaned over 20 LPs so far and as long as long term vinyl degradation does not become an issue, I am convinced of the efficacy of this stuff.

Dear Paul: Tks for your courtesy.
I think this is an " open thread " and everyone can post an opinion: if you or anyone agree or not with that opinion is another history.
I don't give my opinion for to start a debate, I post my opinion because it is what I think is usefull for to know ( for sure )if there is a true improvement in the music reproduction through your formula treatment or if it is only another equalizer. If you really care about the music reproduction at home you have to try what I'm suggesting you. If you close the door to my suggestion maybe will be because you are more interested on the comercial value of your formula and not on the music reproduction value of your treatment.
Anyway, what do you loose if you can have the answers of the original recording people?.
Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
