Those needing “clean” water for record cleaning (or spraying the Christmas wreath so mineral deposits don’t build up on the door, or whatever) I can recommend Zero water filtration systems. Big saving in hassle hauling jugs of water from the store. I think it’s cheaper, too, but for convenience I’d use it any way. System cleans the water sufficiently of dissolved minerals and particulate that there is no visible water spotting on records and other surfaces after drying. They make a pitcher that holds about a gallon of cleaned water. I use it with that ~$110 ultrasonic cleaner setup out of China which works very well indeed. After a 20 min cycle I raise the record from the bath and while the record spins I rinse it with a pressurized spray bottle and then blow off most of the water with one of this handy ltlle blowers. I also use one as the final step in prepping a record for play. Carbon fiber brush, blow off anything that stubbornly remains on the record surface and blow clean the brush. It’s almost fun and I can see and hear the results whereas fiddling with cables, external clocks, and fancy network switches, not so much.
Why on earth would one want to defeat it?
Well, I think it’s a wonderful provision!
But for the impatient ones amongst us, once the leak is discovered and eliminated, one would want to proceed using the device for its intended purpose. But you cannot, because the liquid needs to evaporate, as you mentioned.
I was taking my ideas to the extreme from a design perspective, starting from the hairdryer solution.
Perhaps wiping the moisture with a cloth would simply do.
Gonna upgrade the fyooz?
Cleaning vinyl on your cake day seems like a good exercise. Enjoy!
Happy cake day, you could not be any happier having your new degritter!
Happy cake day!
There are two so the happiness is doubled!
@FRO My Black Box is quite effective in my system and room. I even brought it to a friend’s house and he liked the effect as well.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you discover. At least one Forum denizen here also uses one or two…
Happy Cake Day @aangen Al!
Nicely done.
That seems nice!
Be careful Al. Those look like lit fuses to me 
Most amusing my friend!
Love it!
I’m planning to corner the market on audiophile bananas! High end bananas! 
It just has to make you wonder, do we really hear what we think we hear? Or is it all in our mind?
Wet Mud, a Banana, and audiophile copper. (Most likely AQ)
I think I would hear the difference, but I would never take that test.
Well, my guess is that most of the current is going through the aluminum foil pan liner. Don’t know where the files are but: it amazes me that so much testing is done with noise masquerading as music. Some I have heard, well you might not be able to tell if they played it backwards. And the single telegraph line works because it doesn’t really matter if the current goes back to its source, just that it has somewhere to go. Witness air to ground lightning strikes. Oh, and before I die, would someone please explain the current loop behind a 100,000 watt radio trasmitter?
My latest upgrade, the Decware Dynagrid Jr., is really delivering. I have been tweaking around it and I believe it and its 845 tube have “broken in” and it is delivering “more” than my favorite rectifier in the amp. Quieter, a bit more dynamic, a bit more soundstage width. AND the amp runs a bit cooler, tubes included, which I think is a good longevity factor. The final tweak that brought it into even further “transparency” and “invisibility” was an Audio Magic M1 fuse.
