When cleaning 2-4 records at a time do you feel the inner sides and the inner records get as clean as the outer side of these records or better to just clean one record at a time? I clean 4 records at a time in my 10L tank spaced 1" apart and the...

Listening right now to a very nice Analogue Productions reissue of the classic RCA LP of the Rachmaninoff "Variations on a Theme of Paganini" with Rubinstein and Reiner/CSO. The flip side with the de Falla "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" with Jor...

Rafr, here’s a link for the formulation I am currently using in my ultrasonic tank. It’s giving excellent results when followed by a double rinse: http://vpiindustries.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26954#p26954For the two Tergitols I’m using (S-15-3 a...

Rafr, I'm not sold on TergiKleen as a solution. It's awfully expensive for something that is basically Tergitol. A simple and inexpensive variant of Tergitol that many people are using very successfully is Triton X-100, recommended by the chemist ...

Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience?
