Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
Looking to get an ultrasonic disc cleaner. This one was recommended to me by an audiophile friend. Anyone here have this model? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I know nothing about Ultrasonic cleaners but hear they are great.

@ljgerens While I don't necessarily advocate for using tap water, others including Neil Antin do. I offered it as a possible remedy to rinse detergent if used in the US machine. In my post I recommended rinsing with Distilled water after using tap water. Since the water beads on the vinyl surface, there should be little transfer of contaminants to the record surface unless allowed to dry. A distilled water rinse eliminates the problem, since the contaminants are clearly water soluble. Using detergent without a rinse would create a much bigger problem. |
If I remember correctly, Neil suggested that I use a final rinse consisting of a distilled water spritz (my regime included a distilled water bath). Has he changed his mind? Or are my marbles disappearing? For context, mine was a special case, in that I had access to running purified water for a first rinse, second rinse in a distilled water bath, third rinse spritz. |
@terry9 On page 43 of Neil's book, he demonstrates with pictures rinsing with tap water using the label protector handles and mentioned the distilled water rinse/spritz using nalgene bottles. Marbles intact-at least in this context! |
