i have continued to buy the same vpi cleaning fluid that came with the 16.5 and have found it to work very well. The records always sound clear with minimal or no noise depending on lp condition, with no residue. i just don't have the time or patience to clean one record 3 times with different fluids. perhaps someone could explain the benefits of this in comparison.
What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid?
I'm willing to consider distilled water as a post cleaning rinse fluid (g). But if I'm going to use a VPI cleaner for my disks, and I want to use just one over-the-counter fluid to clean both new and old records in an acceptably effective manner, what should I use?
