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.

My Degritter US cleaner makes cleaning records a cinch.
Drop record in, hit button, go do whatever else, and return to US cleaned and dried record.
Perfect for folks like myself who are too lazy for other methods.

I'm glad there's a choice for us all. The main point is you're experiencing the benefits of US cleaning.
Well I’ve had the 5 micron filter in for a couple weeks now. I’m realizing (what I referred to as hairs or fibers earlier) now that the "slurry" that settles on the bottom of the tank after days of no use, is just that. I watched as I turned on the pump and started leading the output hose around the tank. Getting close to the bottom I can see that "slurry" being moved up into the water and then looks like fibers or hair.

One of the upsides of this set-up (or downsides of my Audio Desk) is I can see and clean the tank. With the AD, one is very limited in this regard.
So after two weeks with the 5 micron filter (complete water change), the water still looks clear. In the past, after several weeks, the water generally looks cloudy,(yellow). We'll see.
I'm now convinced with my current tank, (with it's placement of the internal water outlet and size), I need to get a larger output capacity pump to address my concerns. This will be the easiest, most cost effective way to go forward.
