Adversam, I put together a CleanerVinyl system around 4 years ago when CleanerVinyl was still trying to get off the ground, so to speak. The last time I checked their website it seemed they were much more geared to offering packages, now, and less flexible about a la carte options for people wanting to put together a bare bones or inexpensive system. What I have is the basic motor that turns the records in the ultrasonic bath + a generic ultrasonic cleaner that's necessary for a system like this + 2 adapters that allow me to clean 3 records simultaneously + the lifter device that raises and lowers the records in & out of the bath. I use this system to clean records and a Knosti Disco Antistat to rinse the records. The Knosti is, basically, the German version of a Spin-Clean but, IMHO, better because the Knosti uses brushes instead of pads. After rinsing the records, I lay them onto large record-sized high-quality microfiber cloths to absorb the rinse water. Then, I set them in the Knosti drying rack to air dry completely. The last step is using a product called "LAST" (no pun intended), a record preservative. Al my records are placed in high-quality antistatic inner and outer sleeves. This is, admittedly, more labor intensive than a fully automatic machine but considerably less expensive. As I think I may have stated earlier, if Degritter could convince me that a cleaning frequency of 120 kHz/300 watts is as good and as safe (for the records) or better than 40 kHz/300 watts I'd buy one for the shear convenience.
The Revel F208 are great speakers but, like all speakers, need to be paired with the right amplification source. Again, I am not familiar at all with your amplification source and certainly don't mean to disparage it. However, based upon specifications alone, it doesn't appear, to me, that it has enough power to drive the F208 to their fullest potential. When I auditioned the F208 with a McIntosh MA5300 they sounded very nice but I thought they needed more power and current than the MAC MA5300 can generate. The F206 sounded significantly better with that amp.
With regard to vacuum record cleaning machines like the Project you mentioned, I don't have any experience using vacuum cleaning machines. My research indicates that good vacuum RCM's are effective but ultrasonic cleaning provides the best results. You could put together a CleanerVinyl system for less than what you'd pay for that machine. Take a look at Michael Fremer's reviews of record cleaning machines on Analog Planet.
