I agree.
I experimented with Gruv Glide on records, even after they were cleaned with Record Research cleaner and a VPI 17F.
I was told GruV Glide would work magic by reducing noise, wear, and improve overall sound. After trying it on several LP's, I found the sound dulled and congested, especially small details.
Fortunately it comes off with a few applications of RR fluid and the VPI. I threw away the remainder of the Gruv Glide after that.
However, LAST record preserver has been effective at reducing wear on my LP's for more than 25 years. I hear no sonic degradation after applying LAST, provided a quick rinse with RR fluid is done afterward.
