Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas

Paul I finished testing your samples and want to thank you for including me in the test and for the samples.
My findings are similar to the other testers.
Ticks and pop's were reduced and on one record they were completely removed. After using the products the albums took on that "new shine look".
I would purchase the product and use it.

Zilla ... thanks for posting your results. It's gratifying that so many people are obtaining such good results. Dopogue ... I hope to have a classified ad up within a couple days. The Formulas will be sold under the Audio Intelligent brand. I need to rig up the 4-stage water purifier I bought so I can make some of the Cleaner Formula with Ultra-Pure Water. Thanks to everyone for their testing and feedback.

Best regards,
Paul

I'm late to the party here--I've been traveling, and haven't had as much time as I'd like to test. But I've also been quite impressed with the fluids. I've been using Disc Doctor fluids and brushes on my VPI 16.5, and getting excellent results. But I noticed that the DD stuff was unable to lift all the appearance of fingerprint residue off thrift store records. Paul's stuff, on the other hand, wipes these discs clean. I have the sense that background noise is correspondingly reduced, maybe not by huge amount, but enough to be noticeable. So far, I recommend Paul's stuff highly.

Hi All,
First of all, I would like to thank Paul for sending me samples and including me in the test group.
Secondly, I have to apologize for taking so long to post my results. I received the samples some time ago, but I was out of town for a while and never really had the spare time to perform thorough testing as planned.
I have used his formulas over the past couple days and the immediate impression that I have gotten is that extensive testing is not as necesary as expected. The results are far from subtle.
For reference, I am currently using a homebrew solution of about 12% isopropyl w/ a couple drops of soap. I have used a few of the commercial cleaners in the past, and I came to the conclusion that the results of my mixture was "close enough" to the commercial stuff to not justfy the prices charged (Yes, Im a cheapskate)
I wasnt expecting much out of Paul's cleaner, and likely would not have tried it if it was not free. I am not going to go into to much detail about my trial and the results, because I can see from the above posts that others who are undoubtedy more qualified than myself and have higher resolving equipment have done much more thorough testing. I can say, however, that my experience is similar. Noise floor and clicks & pops are dramatically reduced, while dynamics have increased.
Those microscopic Audio Ninjas kick some serious tail!!
I look forward to this formula being available for purchase.
Thanks Paul, and I hope my little review is helpful to any lurkers out there who may read it.

Regards,
Andrew

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that I've posted a commercial ad for AUDIO INTELLIGENT VINYL SOLUTIONS. Here's the URL:

http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?anlgtabl&1101803723

A big "THANK YOU" to all the beta testers, who so carefully tested the products and posted their feedback. Truly, this was an Audiogon collective group project. The beta testers literally held the power to approve or disapprove of any marketing of these products. Prior to their testing, I did not know any of the beta testers. Their uniformly very postive reviews were gratifying. In addition, the offering of a ready-to-use product made with ultra-pure water was the result of an Audiogon member's (Psychicanimal) input. Again ... thank you for taking the time to test and post your objective results.

AUDIOGON: hosting some of the most knowledgeable and nicest people in the world! A great place to hang out.

Warmest regards,
Paul Frumkin
