Sonically, there is a major difference between using "Ultra-Pure" water and R/O and distilled water.
.
I did a comparison between rinsing an LP using Ultra-Pure water vs. tripled filtered water that was then distilled 8 times.
.
The rinse was done on a record that had been first cleaned with a 3 step process using Record Research Cleaners followed by a 4 step Audio Intelligent process all done on a Loricraft RCM.
.
I took water that was triple filtered (ceramic/charcoal) and then re-distilled 8 times (each time the water was charcoaled filtered except the final & 8th time so as not to allow any charcoal particulates to enter the water).
.
I used my filtered/distilled water as a rinse (3 times) and then played the record. I then re-rinsed the record with the Ultra-Pure Water, listened again and there was quite stunned by how much better the Lp sounded (more detail , extended highs, and blacker backgrounds).
.
The Ultra-Pure rinse was audibly far better than my supposed very pure water.
.
“Ultra-Pure Water” is far different than R/O or distilled and easily worth the trouble and expense to obtain.
