New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
Thanks for the link. Seems like a generic design adapted to vinyl cleaning use case per the below review: https://theaudiophileman.com/record-cleaner-pro-ultrasonic-review/ I have a Pro-ject vacuum cleaning RCM. I wonder how much better this might be of the Pro-ject? |
concerns about heat are unfounded. Currently using one of George Merrills cleaners. http://hifigem.com/hydraulic-lp-cleaning-apparatusMKII.html it is a bit messy but if you have a utility sink somewhere like I do it does a fantastic job After applying the supplied cleaning fluid, I've got enough water pressure that I use hot water from the tap to rinse with a hand sprayer after I blast them with a handheld steam cleaner and never warped a record, even those really thin ones. Try it yourself on a throw away record there was a lengthy, really lengthy thread, a few years ago about using a steam cleaner... I won't rehash it ... but it works,, something like this which is the one I am currently using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHXFHWG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
I second Herman's post about the Gem Dandy Record Cleaner. I still use my Ultrasonic V-8 machine for a final treatment after the Gem Dandy treatment. I add a few tablespoons of alcohol and a 6-8 drops of Photoflo to the tank, per David Radcliffe's recommendation (RIP David). Nonetheless, the Gem Dandy beats the pants off of ultrasonic cleaner otherwise. I did steam cleaning for a few years as well and it came nowhere near as close to these other methods. Nothing beats high pressure tap water to clean records. |
