@vinylshadow The Loricraft usually gets things silent in terms of unwanted noise. The Degritter usually deals with the failures. If there is noise after both it is generally because there is a scratch. It takes about ten minutes to do both machines, and I do it once, mark the new inner sleeve to show it has been cleaned, and then play it until I think it needs cleaning again. That might be a dozen plays, so with a large collection there is repeat business only with favourite discs.
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.

@dogberry Great. Thanks..Do you ever find static electricity built up after the 1st cleaning? |
Great thread! I currently use a cheap and cheerful KAB record cleaner with a canister vacuum attached. I have been eyeing the Humminguru, as I like the principal of US cleaning, and the all-in-one automated aspect, especially the drying feature. One question: Most Amazon reviews are positive, but a few negative reviews gave me pause. Perhaps stealth marketing from competing machine manufacturers? Some say the frequency is too low to be effective, and others say it just didn't clean their records. Any thoughts on these negative reviews? |
