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.

@jtmothyaI,

I'm continuing my quest with experimenting. I'm still using a Hydronix 5 micron filter after the carbon filter. I think you mentioned earlier that you'd not seen anyone use dual filters before. Just hang with me bro.

No downsides yet.It may be that I'll later ditch the carbon filter?
@slaw In an RO system the charcoal filter is typically last in order to not introduce its ’fines’ (particulates) into other filters. Yet experiments are worth trying. Keep posting so we learn your results.
I have been following this thread with great interest, I read Terry’s recommendation for the vinyl stack a while ago, maybe on a AT cartridge thread. Purchased one and a Chinese tank and was underwhelmed with results. I’ve been thinking of revisiting the system and found this thread. I had been using low heat setting and photo flow with distilled water for 5 minutes. Tried versa clean added to the mix and 40 degree solution for 30 minutes and now I see the light! I was concerned with warping at those temps. Now listening to previously noisey discs and they are clean, thank you all!!
