@barnettk I am glad to report to you that after cleaning my first dozen records yesterday on my new Degritter, the results are rather staggering. I cleaned and then listened to several records that I am very familiar with in order to have the best understanding possible. I used records of various SQ levels in order to get a grip on the range of what the machine can provide. What I found was that with records of less than satisfactory vinyl quality but great music and detail (such as true vinyl noise due to lower grade pressing and/or grade of vinyl) that problem can not be eliminated. I used the album from Jeff Beck, "Truth" for that example However, where there is noise from micro sized debris and remaining contaminants from previous cleanings, the noise floor is substantially reduced to nearly zero. That aspect was very impressive. More importantly, is what I realized in musical information. The finest nuance of information was revealed in an almost startling way. Guitar strings trailed off like I have never heard before. Sizzle cymbals seemed to go on forever. Layers of musical information had an overall improved dimension, whereby everything seemed more well defined.
My system is sensitive and of very high resolution. I have always heard a depth of music that I had thought was fabulous. I heard it better than ever last night. I had no idea just how much I was missing by only using a vacuum RCM. Ultra Sonic is the state-of-the-art for vinyl record cleaning. There is no two ways about that.
Enjoy your forthcoming purchase. It easily qualifies as a newly added component to my hi-fi system.
