About the degritter-120 Khz? Totally opposite of other record cleaners on the market. It is difficult from the site images to tell whether the US is aimed directly at the record or in the bath beneath it. Good operating temperature and filter system. Made in Estonia. Not actually local to me-expensive to ship for repairs.
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.

The higher the frequency, the smaller the bubbles, hence the better to clean small spaces and crevasses. One of our big problems with vinyl is grease (fingerprints, etc.). It's hard to see plain water being very effective at removing that, irrespective of frequency. I use a lab grade detergent (Versaclean from Fisher Scientific) for surfactant, and chemistry at 45C. But this requires a rinse or three. |
Michael Fremer reinterviewed Mr. Kirmuss at the Munich show. A lot to think about after hearing the interview. https://www.analogplanet.com/content/if-charles-kirmusss-record-cleaning-machine-and-regimen-correct... |
