Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System

I finally bit the bullet and bought one. The first one was DOA. I had to wait a couple of months to have it replaced as the dealer was waiting for the next shipment from Germany. It works perfectly and cleans very well. I feel it is one of the best purchases I have made. Much less labor intensive than my old VPI.

Donaudio, ironically, I was just wondering what has happened to the Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner. Do you know if there are major changes in the unit?

I do miss its ease of use, but my review sample quite working.

I have no info about any changes in the unit but that the second unit is working without a flaw. I have it in my home office away from the sound system and it is so convenient. Just put a record in and go back to listening. It fits on my desk nicely.

I watched the video and this is a fascinating machine. Truly we are in the Golden Age of Recording Cleaning!

Does the device employ multiple fluid steps? Can you use any fluid or fluids with it or is there special AudioDesk Vinyl Cleaner fluid? Thanks.

Jtimothya, only the single cleaning fluid they provide can be used and reused. This fluid is drained off and goes into a holding tank in the bottom of the machine. It is evaporated off the record with fans, not vacuumed. Nevertheless you do not hear residue after cleaning.

One of the disturbing findings I had was that using it after I had cleaned records with the Walker Prelude and vacuumed it with the Delrin tubed VPI record cleaner. It was improved greatly. Also doing the reverse, greatly improved the sound??? I am not about to clean all of my records with two different machines.

The Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner was vastly more convenient. If you have it in another room, you can listen to music a go to it to remove a cleaned record after about five minutes.
