Home brew cleaning solution

I'm with Sean on this one. I, too, saw the specific disclaimer from Kodak, stating that Photo Flow was unsuitable for use with vinyl records. In this case, legal reasons or not, I'll take the advice from the manufacturer.

Best wishes,

Vodka. Gin leaves a juniper oil residue.

I'm with Photon46.If I could make stuff that makes vinyl as quiet as RRL fluids for a fraction of the price, I would. I tried some DIY and tried some of the various commercial fluids, and none of them gave me vinyl as quiet as RRLs. My $0.02. It's expensive, but for many, even with modest systems and my $300 table it was worth it.

Scottht,
Like Photo46 and Aroc said, and if you want to save $10 Galen Carol sells RRL for $20/bottle.

When you've found a DIY secret recipe you like let me know. I'll be glad to ship you a small sample each of RRL Deep Cleaner and Vinyl Wash, no charge, so you can compare. Unless you're a better chemist than Brian Weitzel, I'll wager you'll end up preferring RRL like virtually everyone else here or on VA who's tried it.

I must say that although I was sceptical at first, I most certainly agree-- RRL products are by far the best I have tried.

There is a significant difference! I absolutely notice a much lower noise floor and blacker background. (I also use DD brushes and a VPI RCM with my RRL products.)

Galen Carol is certainly a pleasure to deal with, and provides awesome service too.

Not affiliated, YMMV etc--

Happy listening,
