Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner


I received notification yesterday that the Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner is finally making it into production. I have been watching the company for about a year, as the cleaner has moved from prototype to beta testing , and now to a limited production of the finalized (we’ll see ;-) version. The design is excellent, eliminating my reservations about the high-priced (around $4,000) ultrasonic cleaners, at a little over half their price (just over $2,000, last I read). The Degritter uses 120kHz as it’s ultrasonic frequency, and features water filtering and disc drying. It also looks cool, like a 1950’s toaster! Details available on the companys website.

Thank whart.

Yes I bought a whole batch of the Ultimate Audiophile Inner Sleeves from sleevecity.  By far the best inner sleeves I've ever found.  All waiting to be used.

I admit I find it almost a bit galling to consider that something other than an US cleaning might be necessary, given the way US purportedly works it's hard to imagine what could do better at getting in to those record grooves.

I buy a lot of used records from discogs. But I'd have to say significant surface noise has been fairly rare, even when the record looks dirtier than it sounds.


So I think I'll get along ok with just the US.  I don't want to add more work, which for me would defeat the purpose of buying this press-a-button-and-walk-away cleaning machine.


@prof, I received a notice from Degritter that after the initial batch of machines were shipped out, a number of minor defects reared their heads, and the company was recalling those machines. Have you sent yours back?

@bdp24

I have not received my machine, it just shipped out yesterday so I should get it next week. So mine was shipped after all the fixes were made.

Excellent prof! Degritter is proving to be a very conscientious group of fellas.

I received my Degritter yesterday.
I've got it up and running, just beginning to clean records.  So far so good!
