Ah.. ok.. no problem. I need to review the part about the surfactants in the video.
I use a surfactant when hand cleaning.. and my pal use a few drops in his setup. He uses a very good one (can't remember the name). I use either two drops of dawn or jet dry.

Ultrasonic cleaners have been around for a very long time - and used for everything from jewelry cleaners to dishwashers. And, yes, well designed ones work really well.
There's no reason to suggest that they couldn't do a very good job on vinyl. Of course, as with almost anything even somewhat complex, I'm sure you could build a bad one as well. In the case of ultrasonics, too little ultrasonic power would do nothing, and too much could turn your album into shiny black sand.  (And, of course, anything you add to the water has the potential to help or damage as well.)
I can't decide if this is junk science or valid... |

I can't decide if this is junk science or valid... Its real, but its also way over the top on what can be done to clean records. As previously stated for those interested in this method I am providing a link from the VPI web forums where you can peruse some 64 pages of information on record cleaning. While this guy might have developed a nice system his methods, IMHO, are far to laborious and unnecessary. One thing I don't like about the Kirmuss system is he provides no way to keep the record label dry and free from dripping water while the vinyl stack seals the label. Anyway I would encourage anyone interested to read through the VPI forums on record cleaning as its quite thorough. www.vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2289 |
