In Reply to: "washing' Lps with only water. Rinse under faucet, then pat dry with VIVA, vacuum final dry. Perfect posted by Elizabeth on May 8, 2012 at 15:43:21:
Try putting the record in a plastic sleeve right after vacuuming and see what happens. My albums go in new paper sleeves for at least 20 minutes to thoroughly dry.
Purified water is $0.35 a gallon at Price Chopper, made to order by a 'vending machine'. Aquafina bottled water would be my 2nd choice.
Playing records wet does quiet them down, but the saying goes 'Once you play wet, you must always play wet'. Do you ever find black gunk stuck to your stylus? What is that stuff and where did it come from?
