drivel about the re-treatmenst and "release agent" bothers me. ok, he got the attention of the market and his price is realistic. i'm thinking that KL has the right approach with distilled water only.
a little research about the power used by each of the manufacturers and some adjustment of actual cleaning time could equalize the results. the best remedy is to go for the big bucks on a KL but that price IS daunting.
i use a SpinClean with a little adjustment of technique. after a short drain period, i lay the LP down on a couple of microfiber cloths and with a folded (in fours) one, i wipe the fluid off following the groove pattern on each side and then place the disc on a lucite picture frame tripod to complete the air drying. i am pretty sure i get most of the surfactant fluid off. i consider this to be the next best thing to Us cleaning at the least expense.
if i had a VPI device, i would follow the draining with the vacuum instead of the microfiber cloths. a SpinCleabn is about 1/6 the cost of a vpi.
