Sadly, these machines, while very effective at cleaning, are way over priced. You can land a very effective ultrasonic cleaning machine in the US for about $1300, shipped from Hong Kong, all shipping, transaction, processing fees and bank fees included. Yes, since it will be a 220 volt model you will need to buy a $12 step down mains unit. Why pay more?

^ I am pretty sure a step down unit won't work. You need to step up to 220-240 from a 120 circuit. That requires two hot wires, one from each leg of the wiring into your house. That doesn't mean it's impossible. A circuit off your electric dryer or water heater would work. Maybe even a diy extension cord. |
W2, Thanks, I checked it out seems like a pretty good deal. They have 2 models one appears to be a knock off of the AudioDesk, although I'm sure German manufacturing far surpasses Chinese manufacturing but at $ 888 its about 1/4 of the AudioDesk. It appears to have universal voltage as well. The other model seems a little more original RW-800 but is only available in 230V - however no biggie as a small step-up transformer is easy to source They appear to be marketed under the same brand as the excellent Hanss Turntables. Good Listening Peter |
