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

I owned a Kirmuss and agree; does a great job cleaning LPs but was too much hassle.

For about half the price, I purchased the ultra-sonic LP cleaner linked below. Does a great job and is easy to use.

They have a new, more costly model. Still several hundred less than the Kirmuss. I have no experience with it.

Can't the Kirmuss be used without all the steps as a well designed ultrasonic cleaner?  It's less than 1/3 of the price of the expensive ones, and I have been thinking about getting one.

Take a candle-lit bubble bath everyday. Hug your records and get in the tub with them. You could even setup the bathtub in your listening room for convenience purposes.

It is the only way to get your records to sound the best.

I'd buy a degritter. Very reliable

I currently own an Audiodeske Glass which works great, but has had some reliability issues.

I also have a VPI 16.5 for heavier duty initial cleaning if necessary for used records.

I had a Kirmuss briefly. Following their cleaning protocol requires more time than I have available for the task.

@knollbrent first off, I have never used a Kirmuss machine but have seen several full demonstrations of Kirmuss and others using this/these machine(s).  Based on this, I do agree that it requires a hell of a lot more time than I am willing to invest cleaning records.

Secondly, I very strongly second the recommendation to read Neil Antin's "Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition" in the Vinyl Press.  This is by no means an easy read but worth every second of your time if you are serious about investing in an US record cleaning machine or system which, in my opinion, is an absolute must for vinyl lovers.  I would also recommend reading through a couple of threads I started here called "Record Cleaning Machines" and "KI Audio or Degirtter Mark II".  Neil, ever so gracious with his time and expertise, contributed to both.

Finally, I recommend checking out CleanerVinyl.com with an especially close look at the Elma Sonic P60H.  Building an US cleaning system around this Elma Sonic P60H machine will yield results as good as the Degritter at considerably less the cost, based upon an A/B comparison I've done between my CleanerVinyl based system and an original Degritter machine.  Nevertheless, the Degritter, with an extra water tank is still, in my opinion, still the most eloquent (i.e.  easiest & least time-consuming) and most relatively cost-effective US record cleaning system I know of, unless you have the space for and want to shell out some serious bucks for a KLaudio machine.

Good Luck!
