Record Cleaning Machines


Has anyone out there done an A/B comparison of the cleaning results or efficacy using the Degritter ultra sonic record cleaning machine which operates at 120 kHz/300 watts and an ultrasonic cleaner that operates at 40 kHz/300 or 380 watts (e.g. Audio Desk; CleanerVinyl; the Kirmuss machine; etc.)?  I have a system I put together using CleanerVinyl equipment, a standard 40 kHz ultrasonic tank and a Knosti Disco-Antistat for final rinse.  I clean 3 records at a time and get great results.  Surface noise on well cared for records (only kind I have) is virtually totally eliminated, sound comes from a totally black background and audio performance is noticeably improved in every way.  Even though the Degritter only cleans 1 record at a time, it seems significantly easier to use, more compact and relatively quick, compared to the system I have now.  I'm wondering if the Degritter's 120 kHz is all that much more effective, if at all, in rendering better audio performance than the standard 40 kHz frequency.  I don't mind, at all, spending a little extra time cleaning my records if the audio results using the Degritter are not going to be any different.  I'm not inclined to spend three grand for a little more ease & convenience and to save a few minutes.  However, if I could be assured the Degritter would render better audio performance results, even relatively small improvements, that would be a whole other story.

+1 @mijostyn.   Only thing I would add is that if there is an out of print record I want, I will occasionally buy it if it is NM or mint condition.

i have never had one of those come back dirty. Occasionally they have a minor scratch/pop for a revolution or two, but I’ve had new records sometimes sound worse. In the worst of those cases, the vendor will allow a return, especially if they’ve seen a pattern of problems. 
I know one person who has a multi $K RCM who never brushes his records before playing them. What a waste, pure insanity.
hi all

having good results with sota vacuum.. been playing with custom liquid and I think it's ok. removes most of the dirt. grime. pops. 

however some around 5 % of the vinyl still unable to remove stubborn stains like tars. and pops and don't look like it's worn out. will ultrasonic help and how different it is from vaccuum style? is it worth the investments? 



What’s the best towel, rag, fabric (which does not leave lint in record grooves) for drying records?
 
 
Hmmmm…
I should have posed the question like this:
can you, somebody, recommend a high quality microfiber cloth? A specific name, brand that you use?
