Audio Desk cleaner.....still available?

Hi Theo:

The results were good (better than my VPI although I sometimes used them in tandem for used records that needed a deep cleaning) but not great. I did not realize that until I put some of the same albums that I previously cleaned with my AD through my KL audio record cleaner which further reduced tics/pops that the AD did not remove.

The disappointment came from the pump which is cheap and fragile. I purchased my second unit with an upgraded pump but that also suffered the same fate.  For the price charged and the inability to send the unit for repair, Reiner Glass has some nerve asking for the thousands that I invested in his record cleaning machines. There are a number of threads on this forum re the pump in the AD and none speak favorably about this issue.

Thank you, gpgr4blu, I appreciate your response no sharing your experience. It definitely makes me wonder if a change is warranted. I don’t have a huge LP collection and not sure where my future vinyl investment will take me. So you have provided lots of food for thought, again my thanks. 

The Audio Desk USC has a terrible reputation and track record. Prior to the introduction of the Degritter, the real competition to the Audio Desk was the Klaudio, which cleans better and doesn’t break.

Mike at The In Groove Record Store (in Phoenix Arizona) has been running his quartet of Klaudio cleaners (that's quite an investment!) twelve hours a day for many years, with no problems. He made a video (posted below) showing his cleaning station in the back room of the store.

Mike seems like quite a guy.  Just the guy to do business with it appears (all I know is what I see in that video). I can't afford a KlAudio, though.

Mike sells the AudioDesk and not the Klaudio and says so in the video. But he uses the Klaudio.
