Post Subject: No such luckPosted by N-set on: 2/13/2018
I must be somehow unlucky here. I recently added a US cleaner from Audiorevita +DIOY 1micron filtering. I use Rushton's recipe with 5% IPA +0.13% Photoflo + Deionezed water, 15mins, 35C, 1.5" spacing, 60% power@40kHz, 3rpm (yes, the motor is quite fast). Then pure water rinse + vacuum+ 3% Etanol final rinse + vaccum + destating using an ion blower. I tried it on several vinyls previously cleaned on my Okki Nokki vac in a 4 step process (2 brushings with IPA + 2 rinse).
...no effect to talk about so far. The background as noisy as it was, all pops& clicks plaguing me there, sometimes even seems more. I hav a feeling that sometimes I lost a bit of directness of the sound. Perhaps the vinyls I selected are permanently worn out (all are 2nd hand bought God only knows where) and US cleaning in some cases actually reveals more of the damage? Have to experiment more.
Cheers,
Jarek
