Caring for Your Precious Vinyl Records: Is vinyl record restoration the same as record cleaning?
A fact filled 45 minutes devoted to the manufacturing of records through to the final care, by Dr. Charles Kirmuss of KirmussAudio.

For decades, vinyl enthusiasts have been misled by a plethora of cleaning remedies and myths that, in fact, may harm both the record and the audiophile! This informative session will ask: What is a surfactant and how does it apply to record cleaning? What is an ultrasonic? How to test to see whether an advertised ultrasonic machine is a sonic bubbler or if it actually uses cavitation? Will also address the concerns that audiophiles have had for decades about how to care for their record collection. A review as to how ultrasonic technology may come to the rescue to undo the effects of decades of misapplied cleaning agents. Plus, we are calling for vinyl lovers to bring in a record from home so it can be restored at the show! A turntable will be available for "before and after" auditions.


About KirmussAudio :
Charles Kirmuss, A Canadian Expat has created a decade ago an affordable EU HQ in the UK. RECORD GROOVE RESTORATION process (not a record cleaner), using its "materials ionization" process, coupled with a 70 KHz resonance added to a 35 KHz ultrasonic to even out the effects of ultrasonic cavitation, and to not just "surface clean or shine a record", rather, safely and uniformly remove the record's release agent, ( a "pressing oil" termed by the Shure Brothers in the 70's..). It is in the pressing oil in new and old records where pops and noises reside created at the factory. The Kirmuss process is recognized by leading manufacturers of audio equipment such as Jeff Rowland Design, Magnepan, Yamaha Canada, as well as turntable manufacturers Oracle, Acoustic Signature and Helix. Endorsed by record conservatories, users see a 1.3 to 4 dB gain over floor even on new records where soundstage, timbre and imagery comes to life, all hidden by the release agent and surface films from other cleaning methods. Results guaranteed.
