Steam cleaning records 2

Is it wrong to post ideas, ideas given w/o renumeration, that actually work? The goal was to engage normal people that had vinyl that I viewed as a flawed "pop & click" medium in need of help to surive the digital explosion.

I didn't invent steam , I didn't invent RCMS, I didn't invent Handheld Steamers or record cleaning fluids. But , I did experiment & share the results. The reason ? So others could derive joy from analog collections as I had from mine. What did I gain in return ? A street mugging by internet criminals here. What is AG for ? To grant persons who have no investment in ideas to invade a Thread , shout-out reason with vile personal attacks ? With all due respect, if internet terrorists are granted control what is to happen to AG & the rest of us the Audio Community that respect this Web Site.

I have been reading a lot of their comments sprinkeled around AG, almost none forward intellectual discourse. Should this be an inkling of the future of this Web Site , AG should shut-down . Or, defend the rights of free people to discuss ideas without fear of the storm trooper idea-burners, street gang mentality that is hijacking our community.

By repeatedly turning the spotlight back upon himself as the "Godfather of Record Steaming", Crem1 attracts critical examination of his method and recommendations.

Really ????
Seems like your sticky fingers are in many pies Tvad.
I wished that steam method could make some individuals "surface noise" free!

Michael Fremer of "Stereophile" notifed me of his interest in the steaming subject. That began months of z-mails resulting in his testing the method for soundness & safety; Mickey became a reluctant convert. Thereafter, "Stereophile" published Mr. Fremer's articles relative to steaming , even including brief side-bar on steaming in the '03 "Recommended Issue" : In early, 2006 they printed an two part article regarding record cleaning in which they acknowledged me was the person behind the steam cleaning method.

Since before then and after, my phone hasn't stopped ringing...

The person responsible for a method is open to questions regarding the method.

Crem1 has still not responded to my question regarding a comparison between NERL, Aquafina and distilled water, and the sonic differences between them.

Since Crem1 proposes Aquafina, and he is the expert in the steaming method, the question seems reasonable.

Mrstark, every one of my posts in this thread is subject to moderator approval before it's posted. Since none have been censored, it appears Audiogon is fine with the content.

Zenblaster-I think we're of the same mind-I, too, came on this thread and thought it might hold useful info for LP cleaning. I made no posts until I found an obvious error (Type 1 water cost), and a logic thread that needed disputing (simply because someone says 'Aquafina' is pure water doesn't necessarily make it so).

In fact, I have had an email correspondence with 'Stltrains' that was informative and...great. Looking at his web personality, and his youtube vinyl-steaming video, perhaps he should take over as 'Steaming Head Honcho'-he certainly seems to have less ego involved, and seems much more directed to simply wanting clean records.

Be that as it may, since I'm also interested in planar speakers, I'd like to have a link to the thread that you spoke of. PM is fine as to not take away from the important business at hand.
