Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition


Looking to get an ultrasonic disc cleaner. This one was recommended to me by an audiophile friend. Anyone here have this model? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I know nothing about  Ultrasonic cleaners but hear they are great.

DO NOT BUY a Kirmuss RCM. Yes they clean ok but are a pain in the a$$ to use. There's like 21 steps for cleaning......just not worth the hassle IMO.

There is a bible on the subject published by The Vinyl Press. It tells you all you need to know about record cleaning in general, and US cleaning in particular.

I have invested thousands in US cleaning and it is one of the highest return elements of my system. Highly recommended.

@terry9 I agree US cleaning is great it's just that the Kirmuss isn't worth the admission price. There are many other alternatives.

Let me preface this by stating I have not used a Kirmuss RCM myself. I did attend his presentation at PAF in August where he made a good case concerning his credentials and his philosophy on recovering LPs. And considering the deal he was making on his machines, I almost pulled the trigger. 

However before I committed I went online and read reviews both pro and con. I’m going to say that I was dissuaded by the reports of cartridges being fouled by some residues left on LPs. Now was it due to poor usage or something caused by the process? I don’t know and want to learn more before I made a decision. 

Happy listening.
