I received notification yesterday that the Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner is finally making it into production. I have been watching the company for about a year, as the cleaner has moved from prototype to beta testing , and now to a limited production of the finalized (we’ll see ;-) version. The design is excellent, eliminating my reservations about the high-priced (around $4,000) ultrasonic cleaners, at a little over half their price (just over $2,000, last I read). The Degritter uses 120kHz as it’s ultrasonic frequency, and features water filtering and disc drying. It also looks cool, like a 1950’s toaster! Details available on the companys website.
Anyone with a RCM try a noisy record cleaned with RCM and then compared to cleaning after Degritter? Is it really superior to a RCM in terms of sound quality or is it mainly the convenience factor?
@tswisla I’ll know soon…Just ordered more of a DIY set up with a multi frequency Ultrasonic tank and the Clenervinyl rotisserie.
The Degritter seems more convenient, but with the other one I can do 10 at a time, so I can get through more of them. I’ll need to find a dirty example, and then do a before and after.(Once the gear all arrives)
