| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio Do you think doubling the drying time can help to remove the eventual residue? Drying longer is not going to reduce/remove the residue. Nonionic surfactant in their 100% state is often like thin oils and are essentially non-volatil... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @whart, The book in Chapter XIV lists no-rinse concentrations. Concentrations specified (see Table XXIII Nalgene™ Dropper Bottle Use for Degritter™ & Humminguru™) are good enough for wetting only. If the concentration is high enough to get ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio, You previously said you tried only your old distilled water and the machine caused no problems. Then you bought new distilled water and added two drops of the cleaning fluid, as recommend by the brand. After a careful glistening, I ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pindac As the book says, BASF™ Dehypon® LS 54 nonionic surfactant is a substitute for Tergitol 15-S-9 but is only available from the UK - Dehypon - 1 Litre – Conservation Resources (UK) Ltd (conservation-resources.co.uk). Polysorbate 20 is... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records Regarding the ability to damage a record with UT, there are a lot of variables in-play. The record spin speed, the kHz, the tank volume, the power W/L, the transducer location and how close is the record to the transducers and the actual record c... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio The damage may not be permanent. Some cleaning solution residue can be very difficult to remove. HG provides very little detail on the what is in the cleaner other the standard market speak - HumminGuru The Small Bottle | Ultrasonic ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records The machine @pfmaudio is using based on the power, kHz and volume is a well-known unit (he has decided not to disclose the OEM, and I will respect that) for which there are 1,000’s in use. The damage being described is contrary to what others have... | |
| A GOOD dry record cleaning device Maybe Neil Antin in another update, can show methods to keep Cleaning Bristles in their cleanest condition. @pindac, I gave up using any dry brush on a record over a year ago. I just use the Teflon rod that I address in the book with curren... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. @pindac @terry9, thanks for the kind words. Be advised that a change to the book was just published with details discussed here: Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition | Page 14 | Steve Hoffman Music Forums | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning @joenies, Well pardon me if I choose not to your records - LOL, all in pun. The UV light can be a double-edged sword. Perfection is not really possible, and good-enough is practical. But you will find some records are 'cleaner' than others, an... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning @lewm, The reason I limit my recommendation for alcohol and UT cleaning is for a number of reasons: One is liability. I am not anonymous – you can find me. Those that remain anonymous, their identity is protected by law. So, I am going to b... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning @scm, FWIW: If you compare the two SDSs between Trition X-100 TRITON™ X-100 Surfactant | Dow Inc. and Kodak Photoflo \14315sfp-1msdgenfilesarchivessds_usdefault�07903.pdf (lps.org), the CAS #’s are the same, so that adding Photoflo with Trition... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning @whart, Bill as always thank-you for the kind words and the acknowledgement and of course your efforts as editor and publisher. One of the problems with record cleaning is that there are no clearly defined cleanliness criteria. I address this in... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning @tuberculin, Are you using the Triton X100 at 0.13%? This would be about 6.8 times its critical micelle concertation (CMC) which is a pretty high concentration - but Paul Rushton specifies rinsing with a vacuum-RCM Are you spacing the records a... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @oldaudiophile, Re-reading your post, I am not sure why you feel your CleanerVinyl pump/filter with the P60H would be virtually impossible. The pump/filter is (electrically) OFF during the first 10-min while the tank is in auto frequency change ... |
