FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner?

Plus, I’m really sold on higher-frequency ultrasonic operation (say, 80kHz and higher) for it’s smaller cavitation bubbles, which get further into the groove than does a 40kHz-produced bubble. The Degritter runs at 120kHz, the HumminGuru at 40k. Of course the older "premium" ($4,000) USM machines also run at 40K, one reason the Degritter renders them obsolete.

But the real question is what does $400 buy one? If the $400 HumminGuru cleans as well as a DIY combination (a 40kHz USC machine and an LP spinner, around $300-$400), great, it is a viable option. If it doesn’t, it isn’t.

I'll likely end up getting the Degritter or something of that caliber. Until then, keep hope SOMEONE will find a way to make a proper machine at a more digestible price.

I looked into this machine in it's development stage and passed.

If you continue waiting on the perfect machine/price.....you’ll never hear how these types of machines can benefit your listening experience.

Slaw-I'm afraid you're right.  Reality is a Degritter/Audio Desk level machine simply can't be made for under....$1K retail?

I've had the pleasure of getting some favorites US cleaned, and appreciate  what's possible. Nothing beats  listening to a freshly cleaned "stamper."
