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

Kirmuss is an ultra-sonic cleaner with a rotisserie added on. It is just a tool. How you use it is up to you. You don't have to follow the "21 step" process or use the cleaning product that is recommended. You can just use distilled water, maybe add a little alcohol or surfactant if you want. There are tons of discussions on the process here. Read, experiment, think. Selling the tool because you don't like the process is just dumb.

I second the ElmaSonic P60. I have a P60 rebranded by Fisher Scientific, and add-on rotisseries. I have cleaned more than 3000 records. My current regime is spin-clean with running pure water, 2 records on the spindle for 10 minutes of US cleaning, spin-rinse with running pure water, bath in distilled water, spritz with distilled water, air dry.

Excessive? After 1000 hours on my Koetsu the stylus showed virtually no wear (by photomicrograph). The re-tip which I didn’t need would have cost $7K. Excessive spend on US? I don’t think so.

@devinplombier - personally, I use distilled water and nothing else in my DeGritter. I would avoid the kind of thing you see on Amazon for $160; these are made for cleaning jewelry and other assorted items, and I wouldn't expect them to last very long; I'd stick with one that is made only for cleaning records.

I started with a spin clean (still use it for soiled records) then bought an okki nokki rcm and finally a degritter mk2 . I use the okki nokki for the rinse with distilled w since the vacuum finally removes any cleaning fluid used during the US. This regimen works spectacularly.

The Kirmuss is an effective system, you just have to be willing to spend the time needed to perform the cleaning process for each album you clean. 

@vinylvalet, is there no rinse involved with the HumminGuru? Thats an attractive price, even for the advanced model. I'm wondering if I would still need to rinse and dry with my VPI HW?
