RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide

Ok,

I was the guy who was unhappy with my vacumn cleaned records a few weeks ago and I think I found the answer.

After cleaning with super wash and regular wash, then vinyl zyme, then regular wash, then groove glide,(I know it is time consuming!), I got to tell all of you guys that my records are Dead Quiet and Detail has improved alot. The soundstage perspective is a little more like sitting in row 35 versus row 20, but the smoother detailed sound and presentation is nice.

Just thought I would let others know that I tried these products in case others of you are interested. Definitely worth the money spent.

I should add that these improvements comes at the expense of some immediacy. Some of my LP's sound a little less "live" and more like great recordings. Difinitely a plus for some LP's, and it cleans back off with Super Cleaner and Regular Wash, but may not be for every album.

I tried it on Jimmy D. Lane's latest album from APO, and the sound lost that "you are there" edge to it that really makes the band and vocals feel as though they are in the room.

Lugnut,

I did find a bunch of gunk on the stylus. I'll take your advice and use alot less.

Does the "Grasshopper" refer to Kung Fu when he came to the Buda priest for insight and wisdom??? I love it!!!! As Audiophiles, we need a little God or Budda to pray too!!! Careful, for many of us, our stereos are our Gods.???

4yanx,

I'll skip the Vinyl Zyme and just use RRL and the Groove Glide and see what it does. I can always wash the Groove Glide back off. The Vinyl Zyme washes back off too I think with Super RRL cleaner. The idea behind this stuff makes sense but may leave a sonic signature.

Thanks!
