| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner So I wanted to follow up on this discussion as I have received feedback on another forum that I trust will be helpful here as well. The kind chemist of whom I have spoken previously responded that while a simple solution is indeed convenient, it ... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Thank you antinn, I will give it a go.....appreciate your follow up and look forward to comparing results. | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Antinn, I would think that getting the tank up to about 30-35deg. C and then turning it on, the transducers that is, as you add the Tergitol should then produce the desired result as far as dissolution is concerned.Great you are getting back into ... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Thanks, antinn. Will the Tergitol mix well in distilled water? The Triton X-100 that I'm using now does not, hence pre-mixing it in IPA is necessary. | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner "there is method to this madness."To be sure, antinn, this is very true and since this whole thing is pretty new for most of us, I imagine there will be some trials and experimentation involved but in the end most effective and simplest method wil... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Thank you antinn. I appreciate your efforts and this will likely lead to a way to improve upon the solution. I am concerned about the Triton as well regarding environmental issues so the Tergitol seem like a better choice. I'm going to order so... | |
| Hana SL or ML? The Rotel has an option, "bypass," that will send the incoming signal only through the circuit that controls gain, or volume. Otherwise the signal is not changed in any way. So, I send the signal from my cartridge, to phonostage, to Rotel preamp... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Antinn, thank you immensely and you sound a lot like that Phantomrebel guy, who has a slightly different take on it but I will give it a shot. For one, makes it a whole lot easier, no need to mix up a solution, just add it to the distilled water ... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner "Tergitol 15-S-3 is not water soluble, it is intended for oils."Maybe that is why that formula also called for the IPA? I don't know, just a guess so that it might be necessary for the 15-S-3 to become soluble. In any case, this is way above my ... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Antinn, that is very interesting.....one of the variants of the original formula was to use Tergitol S-15-3 and S-15-9 (not sure in what combination %) but then it was posited using Triton 100-X would work just as well so that is what I went with.... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Yes, that is correct.....the original formula in fact called for 300ml to be added but I thought that I would try just 200ml and it seems to be working just fine. The chemist I refer to also suggested that he felt this to be a bit overkill with t... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Correct, the label will inform you of that and it is highly advised to wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling the product. Avoiding skin contact and especially eye contact is extremely important. Additionally, the container that it com... | |
| Hana SL or ML? I run the Jolida Black Ice Audio F-159 tube phonostage into a Rotel Preamp using the by-pass circuit which sends the signal out to the Rotel Power amp without going through any other circuits aside from an attenuator (volume control) and both Rote... | |
| Hana SL or ML? I have the SL, have had it for about 4 months now and I echo ndevamp's comment about it needing some time to run in before it really shines. I would say it sounded good right out of the box, but somewhere around 70-100 hours in is when it really ... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Appreciate your post, spiritofradio! I can tell you this was the one thing that held me back for a long time, not having a solution that was fairly inexpensive, made from readily available ingredients, and most of all effective! After all, the w... |
