Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas

Paul, given that, as several have suggested, the first solution may be left on for several minutes, I find that I tend to use more of it on the record to make up for evaporation. Would it make sense for you to sell the first solution in twice the quantity as the second to account for this?

Slipknot ... yes, Mrkidnow remarks on that issue. Repeated heating will break down the enzymes, rendering them less effective. Rather than heating your whole supply, just heat the portion you're going to use.

Placing the enzymatic formula in a container, and then heating it gently with hot water, would work well. Don't get the formula hot: you don't want to melt any modulations. Warm to the touch will work well.

Jyprez, the formulas will be sold under the "Audio Intelligent" brand name. They will be available as concentrates in both 4 oz. glass bottles and 8 oz. Nalgene bottles. Their concentration level is set to be diluted 7:1 with distilled water. So the 4 oz. bottle will make 32 oz. of formulas (1 quart), and the 8 oz. bottle with make 64 oz. of formulas (1/2 gallon).

I will also make the cleaner available in a ready-to-use formula made with ultra-pure water ... sold in 32 oz. HDPE squirt bottles. I hope to set up my ultra-pure rig in the next couple of days.

But specific to your question ... don't be stingy with the cleaner formula: it's what makes sure you get all of the enzymatic, plus oils and grease, off your LP.

Best regards to everyone,

Paul, I guess I should learn to read more thoroughly.I went back and re-read MrKidknow's post, and - sure enough- it's all there. I'll try the heating method with a small batch and see what happens.

Still getting consistently positive results. LPs are cleaner, quieter with no loss of fidelity or dynamics. Clearly attributable to much cleaner grooves.

Okay, let's cut to the chase. When will it be available? I've started rationing again :-)

Paul I finished testing your samples and want to thank you for including me in the test and for the samples.
My findings are similar to the other testers.
Ticks and pop's were reduced and on one record they were completely removed. After using the products the albums took on that "new shine look".
I would purchase the product and use it.
