Most powerful fluid for record cleaning machine ?

Krusty2K, I was using your exact formula for years and thought my records were as clean and good-sounding as they could get. That was until I tried AIVS.

I've had the same experience that Doug Deacon has with AIVS, it leaves a film behind. I tried cleaning it off with distilled water, but it didn't cut it. I found that RRL SVW cleans it off after a few rinse/vacume cycles. Until then, it reduced dynamics, with my system resolution/to my ears.

As for me, I will continue to use RRL because I don't have to go through all the extra steps and it doesn't leave a sonic signature.

No film or residue here, so something is obviously wrong. Wonder what it is.

I have a shelf full of record cleaning products. Music Direct is one of my regular stops and I have tried every record cleaning supply they sell. Nothing works as good as the AIVS. Nothing.

I'm just sharing my personal experience. There was a residue left behind with the AIVS that I can hear. RRL cuts it, but it takes several rinses. DD also left a film and required multiple rinses too, which is why I chose not to use it. I want to listen, not clean. Have you noticed the residue/sonic signature with DD?
