My KAB EV-1 arrived last week and I have to say my records have never been cleaner. They sound absolutely amazing after a spin on the machine. I wish I had not wasted my time with the Knosti.Anyway, I have been adicted to cleaning records since it arrived and have used up all of the supplied fluid. My question is what is the best online store to get RRL that will ship to New Zealand?

You might try " Take Five Audio " here in Canada, they stock it.

I'll second Take Five Audio, they're fast and great to deal with...
best price I've found. And Galon is way behind on kickbacks, so maybe a new sale will remind him....
It takes all night to do what I used to do all night....

Price will come to NZ$58 including shipping per bottle. Is there a cheaper alternative I could look at before I place my order?
Garth Leerer at Musical Surroundings (510) 547-5006. I'd ask them if they'd work with you, since you obviously want the product.It's worth a try, right?
I get mine from Music.direct in Chicago they were or perhaps still are running a 4 32 oz Bottle (1 Gal.)RRL SVW for $80.00 US which might not be a bad way to fly for someone having to bear the shipping cost to NZ. but I clean a lot of records and a Gallon last me a very long time.It's too bad RRL doesn't offer their solvents in a concentrate form
to minimize the oversea's shipping costs.

According to Brian Weitzel of RRL, (I've asked) RRL doesn't offer a concentrate because they know that it won't be mixed with water as pure as theirs.Most folks would mix it with "distilled" water from the grocery, which doesn't compare to their triple steam distilled/four stage deionized base water.
Best,
Before RRL I've used my R.O. (reverse Osmosis) water for mixing solvents and rinsing used a conductivity meter to test it against Distilled and a clients super duper De-Ionized R.O'ed several times
water they use for clean room processes and I didn't percieve the slightest differences.
I've read so many posts from serious chemists etc. szying that the triple distilled deionized etc. is only a psycholgical improvement that minimal atmospheric exposure renders it all just distilled in short order.I think the super water stuff is hype and wishful thinking, but who knows ?
The again the RRL has been an extraordinary RC solvent for me.
And the manufacturer attributes much of RRL's success to their ultra pure water.I feel the same as you, RRL is extraordinary. This said, I'll respect Weitzel's perspective.
Best,
I've purchased RRL fluids from Galen Carol (I am in the UK) with no complaints.
