IMO, using expensive double-distilled, RO purified, or reagent grade water is probably overkill. Even distilled water from the grocery store only has a few ppm of impurities, something overwhelmingly contaminated from the junk on your records. It might be interesting for someone to do a water conductivity study over the course of cleaning records. I think the best course is to change the water regularly; I change mine about every 25 records. I also wipe off the superficial dust and fibers with a microfiber cloth before cleaning. If you want to use the expensive ultra-pure water, by all means do so but I would wager its conductivity to increase significantly after only a few cleanings and therefore higher than that of new distilled water.
Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner
I have a kLaudio lp200 ultrsonic record cleaner
I recall a few comments on reading threads about some special high grade distilled water
i can't seem to find anything via an audiogon search
klaudio says plain distilled is what they use
woukd anyone like to chime in with recommended top grade distilled waters
what properties make these special water brands stand out and the advantage to the sound of the records
a link or two would help
on a side note Klaudio is having a sale on their silencer and I went ahead and bought one
anybody using this silencer?
thanks
