| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @oldaudiophile, have I learned anything? Oh yes, you have learned quite a bit. WRT to the Elmasonic P60H PP_Elmasonic_P60H_EN.pdf, it’s a very versatile dual frequency 37/80-kHz unit with variable power and various operating modes. As the book... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! Hi Bill, Thanks for the kind words, and yes, it's been a bit of journey since the VPI Forum days. I very grateful to @whart for jumping in as Editor and Publisher of the book and making it available for free. Although there are days when I ask... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @dogberry, Have you moved on from the Sussurro Gold? No. VPI did a comparison some year back at CAF with two exact same tables (HW-40); played back through some big Wilsons; one with the Lyra-Etna, the other with the Soundsmith Hyperion (the... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @starwarrior. FWIW, this is what is in Dawn Ultra - CPID. Aside from water there are 19-ingredients. The first 3 (anionic surfactants) are what does most of the cleaning. But understand that the thickness is artificial - they add propylene gly... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @tuberculin, I am not criticizing your system. It simply does not work for me. Don’t be so sensitive, show some humility and accept that this boy ain’t gonna buy it. Your prior statement is obviously very critical of items that I may have neve... | |

| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @tuberculin, Make no mistake, you did not offend me. You criticized the work that I have done, and I have the right of response. Period. I have expended as much as 4-6 hours working with someone when they are attempting to use the chemistry ... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @tomic601, Probably a friction stir welded tank my team built….ha. One million linear inches of weld without a defect… definitely NOT trial and error… That's impressive. The tank was an open honeycomb design. When they explained what they w... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! If Neil were to buy a Vacuum RCM and a US RCM and used his magic to invent a technique for them I am all ears. I would be very interested in that, but trying based on his description, with no practical experience, I hesitate to go down that rabbi... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! FWIW the basic rules for UT are as follows: The power to produce cavitation is proportional to the kHz, so a 120kHz UT needs more power than a 40kHz. For ultrasonic tanks, the bubble diameter is inversely proportional to the kHz, so a 40 kHz U... | |

| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition Sorry I am late to the party but here are some clarifications and some information. There is nothing wrong with using tap water for rinsing so long as you do not allow it dry on the record which is why you immediately follow with a DIW rinse. ... | |
| Does anyone have experience matching an Icon PS1 MKII with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star? @flash56, Parts Connection Parts Connexion services Sonic Frontiers components and does improvement mods on some. I am quite sure they could refresh your SFP-1. | |
| Does anyone have experience matching an Icon PS1 MKII with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star? If all you are looking for a SUT, then suggest MovingCoil (erhard-audio.com).
