MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse

Markd51, it seems to me that being the case that you would indeed go with the cheapest.

Absolutely, there never is. Let me add Walker Audio Prelude. Which of the four steps is vital from the enzyme to the Step IV I don't know but the cleaned records have virtually no noise and sound much better than the four other systems I have used.

Chashmal, I had been doing two final rinses with Ultra pure water, Walker's Step Three. I have since cleaned many of these records with a very great improvement in sound. Lloyd assures me it is not just pure water.

Dan_ed, Walker's Enzyme Step One is followed by a cleaner step, which in turn is followed by a pure water step three.

Of course, nothing left behind is the goal. The question is why some sound so much better.

Markd51, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying by 180 degrees.

Sonofjim, in my experience there are clear benefits of some cleaning methods over others. Years ago I tried steam cleaning to no get benefit. Perhaps I did it wrong. Before the three step Walker Prelude system, I had used Diskdoctor, VPI, Diskwasher, AudioNote, L'art do Son, and several others. When I got the Prelude, I played previously cleaned records and then cleaned them with the three steps. It was clearly audible on all of them, causing me to spend seven days to reclean everything previously cleaned. Then I got Step Four from Walker, not really expecting much. I was shocked at the additional improvement. Just yesterday I found a record that was previously cleaned with L'art du Son. I used only Step Four. Again I was shocked at the improvement. Just to check I did all four steps and relistened. It was much better. In my opinion there must be degrees of "clean."

Rushton, my experience both with Step Four and with Lloyd was the same.
