Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning

Maybe I’ll just stick to using Disc Doctor cleaner on a VPI 16.5 with Mobile Fidelity brushes, rinsing twice with distilled water. A Monks or Loricraft would be safe choice relative to the unknown potential damage of KLAudio and AudioDesk (and hassles to use). I cleaned records on Monks machines 30 years ago and they came out very clean. My friend owns an AudioDesk and said he chose it over the KLAudio because the cavitation bubbles were not directly hitting the record surface. He thought that was the reason for shearing off high frequencies and possibly distorting the vinyl grooves.  I tried his AudioDesk and found it didn't make a difference after cleaning using my VPI method, even in his system using a Caliburn turntable rig ($100,000s).  

So........pretty much a waste of my time posting here.

Guess I'll try another website.

Over and out.

Yeah, sometimes it feels like that - but not always, not even most of the time. We'll miss you.

Thanks terry9 and fleschler.

I concur on the benefits too. really transformed the quality of the records. some that were barely playable sound great. I use cleaner vinyl and clean two at a time. 36c for 15 minutes. I use distilled water with a couple of drops of Dawn liquid and a cap full of Photo Flo. drip and air dry. my watchmaker friend swears by Dawn for delicate cleaning with his ultrasonic cleaners.
