Ultrasonic record cleaners

If you are cleaning used LPs of indeterminate history, be advised that some LPs just don't get any better even with a good cleaning, which the VPI HW16 is capable of, if used correctly (I don't know what is in your cleaning solution, for example).  I use a VPI HW17, and I have found that a rinse with distilled water, after having used a cleaning solution of water + isopropyl alcohol + Tween20, is very beneficial.  But otherwise, some LPs just don't respond.  I've tried cleaning noisy LPs a second time with a US machine, usually with no better results.  US machines can work fine, but they don't repair damaged LPs.

Have first gen Disc Doctor and Degritter.  Used purchases go through DD and a heavy cycle in Degritter.  New purchases medium setting only Degritter.  Great system.

If the Degritter or other $3,000+ ultrasonic is beyond your means, check out the HumminGuru, priced at around $400.

The defroster is 3700 dollars.  I am thinking more in like e with my mc cartridge price of 1100

While I’ve heard great things about the expensive US cleaners, I couldn’t justify the 3k price, given I only had a few hundred LP's, so I bought the VEVOR for $200, and it seems to do an excellent job. I don’t know how it would compare to other cleaning systems, like the VPI.
