This reduces the efficiency for our system and our process to ionize the record and attract the plasma wave and to "brush" and "work in" our surfactant into the grooves of the record. Inspection reveals where our process sees in these situations with water pooling where within 2 minutes in our machine where our ionizing agent that we apply to the surface of the record is prematurely now washed off, rather than later. Records come out of our machine virtually dry after restoration. Neither do records once we have processed them. Yet, other records of provenance unknown or some new pressings that have not been touched do not see this. Whether that is a mix of the cleaning agent and preservative reacting with the record’s release agent, could well be. Right or wrong, we should never see PVC pool water on the record's surface. Our comment is not whether Last is a coating or not and while we did use the cleaner and preservative as directed on this new pressing, multiple records, the fact of the matter is noted where records after a 30 day cure saw us note where after the first five minute cycle in our process with ionizing surfactant applied, with the record placed on the worktable we noticed sheets of surface water pooled and where thousands of water droplets appeared and remained on the record’s surface after our initial processing. In this matter and this posting, the records we tested and documented with the Keyscience microscope were of the currently available Sony pressing of Cabaret. Recent pressings that we have purchased from various labels all of late edition see different residues and resulting in different “before” and “after” measurements. I agree with Jeff Kaskey (Last CEO) where we using our process have seen just as he noted the fact where different records have different materials found on the surface of the record, primarily the release agent. I have The LAST Factory's permission to offer you the PDF.

Kirmuss and below that the downloadable PDF of the letter I received from the folks at The LAST Factory disputing Kirmuss's claim. So, below you'll find the video excerpt of my surprise encounter with Mr. Once home from RMAF I decided to contact The Last Factory to get their side of this. I respond that I don't really know but that all I'm doing is repeating what The LAST Factory claims, which is that the preservative is not a coating.
He also claims that his cavitation process can remove the "coating" and greatly improve the sound. Kirmuss avers that I claim that LAST is not a "coating," while Kirmuss insists it is, using high resolution microscopy to prove his point. I happened to walk into the room where he was restoring records for attendees as he talked about LAST Record Preservative and said "unlike Michael Fremer who."-well watch the video below. If you've watched the "RMAF Wrap-up" video on the AnalogPlanet YouTube channel (which today hit 30,000 subscribers), you no doubt remember the surprise "name check" encounter with record restoration expert Charles Kirmuss.
