GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ?


Have you read this review of George Merrill's record cleaner in the latest 6Moons.com?http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/gem/dandy.html

Best ever record cleaner (according to the reviewer) and uses ordinary tap water for the rinse. Exclusively for garage sale purchases, or would you have the nerve to try it on an audiophile reissue, too?

I bought it based on the review and thought the idea of using water pressuer made alot of sense. Unfortunately, my kitchen sink doesn't handle the attachement. Nonetheless, I tried the fluid along with using the Perfection steamer on my Loricraft RCM (steam a bit, spray on fluid, wait a couple of minutes, steam and then vacum and then steam and vacum a couple of times). I don't know what is in the fluid, but a number of older records that sounded like crap, even after a run-through of the Walker cleaning process, sounded MUCH cleaner. I didn't try the Walker process with steam, so maybe that is the big difference. I plan to try both using the steam and compare. Will let you know what I find.
