| Back To Static! @mijostyn,I think you have typo, the report says the brush alone reduced voltage to at best 3380V. Regarding particles this is quite a statement from the report pageb16, "A Sealeze™ brush making minimal contact with a suitable substrate would be ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines @herman,Ultrasonic cleaning can be very effective against oils and greases, and the lower frequency units such as the Isonic/Kirmuss at 35-40 kHz are preferred. BUT, they need some chemistry to both lower the surface tension of the fluid to bette... | |
| Back To Static! @mijostyn,In my travels I can across this paper - Microsoft Word - SEALEZE_WHITE_PAPER_Final dam.doc. My takeaway is that even under ideal application & use (i.e proper grounding) brushes are not that effective in removing static. Recalling... | |

| Record Cleaning Machines @oldaudiophile,1. If you read the book Chapter XIV.5.3, and you apply your tank volume of 6L with 3 records, the fastest you should spin is 1 rpm. If you clean just one record at a time, then 3 rpm is the fastest you should spin. The problem with ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines @willy-t,Tima uses the Elmasonic P120H (with pump & 0.2 micron absolute filter) and he has added a Elmasonic S120H for rinsing and recently switched to Tergitol 15-S-9 ( Tergitol 15-S-3 and 15-S-9 Surfactant | TALAS (talasonline.com)) with g... | |
