Hi Stitch,

Well I have now cleaned approximately 120 records on my first batch of fluid. These have all been either new or previously cleaned (by a VPI) records. I have removed and rinsed the filter about 3 times. It collects a some debris. Today I used a turkey baster to draw some fluid out so I could inspect it and it was still clear. I am sure a microscope would reveal some particulates but with a simple magnifier I am unable to see any. I do think using a VPI to pre-clean seriously dirty records is the way to go due to the fluid recycling the audio desk does but I am willing to do that for the few used records I buy. I took pictures of the fluid if anyone is interested please email me and I will send them to you. I'm too lazy to post them in this reply.

I am still extremely pleased with this machine. The only small complaint I have is that occasionally it leaves little drops of fluid here and there on the record that I have to dry off before I put it back in the sleeve.
