Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning

My Cleaner Vinyl ultrasonic record cleaner arrived today and it’s impressive.

Everything I’d read indicated that ultrasonic was the way to go, and now I count myself among the believers. Everything is better - records are quieter, less ticks and pops, more detail etc.

All my records had been previously cleaned with a vacuum record cleaner and were well cared for. Nonetheless, the difference is obvious and overwhelmingly positive.

Despite being submerged, vinyl rejects pure water. Particularly deep in the grooves.  Hence the Library of Congress reccommending surfactant in record cleaning formulas. 
And lots of audiophiles getting good results with a wee bit of Photoflo in the US baths.
does lead to a need for rinsing, but that’s advisable anyway.

Thanks! Something more to look forward to! As I was hoping for... yummm!

@jollytinker,

You obviously haven’t listened to the options that are readily available to you.?
