Humminguru record cleaner

Almost all of my records are in NM condition, so I didn’t think I needed a record cleaner to replace my VPI 16.5. Also, my record surfaces are virtually silent.. But I was intrigued by the ultrasonic cleaners out there. So I bought one with the probability of a return. The results are amazing. This device cleans the records so well it’s like adding a new component to my system. And it’s only $500. With my already clean records I didn’t need the Degritter which is several times more expensive.

I recommend it highly.

There you go: "the biggest upgrade" is how I put it. It doesn't have to be an ultrasonic machine, and all sorts of ways to skin a cat here. But a perfectly clean record is a joy to hear.

...is what I use. It's even cheaper. It does not dry automatically, but to dry the records, I use DeWalt drill to grab a spindle and spin those fast till dry.

I just bought one and have not used it yet. Have a VPI 16.5 that I will use for the "dirty" records as a first clean and then run them through the Hummin' Guru. Looking forward to firing it up.

Tablejockey,

For now I’m just using tap water.  Soon I will get distilled water, which is recommended.  I’m not worried because I don’t have hard water.

Its really a great and easy machine to operate.

I finally achieved ultimate vinyl paradise last year after acquiring my very own Humminguru. Highly recommended!

 

Distilled water maybe with an optional  drop or two of Shaklee Basic H for me.
