Record Cleaning Machines: Hannl or Typhoon

I had a vpi before but after I bought an Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl cleaning machine I'll never go back to vacuum.

You can't use a wash cycle solution and rinse cycle with the Audio Desk though.

Does it even clean 10" discs?

I went from a VPI 16.5 to a Hannl Micro EL (which in most ways is like the newer Mera minus the mounted brush/fluid pump). It's an incredibly well-made and versatile machine offering changes in speed (slower for vacuum/faster for brushing) as well as reversal of direction. Distribution in the US seems to be in flux - but it seems an ex-pat, Paul Morris, is now responsible for global distribution via AMF in France (http://www.amf63.com). Through e-mail conversation he seems like a very nice guy - and is hoping to def expand Hannl's business. I was directed to him by Hannl when seeking out where to buy a Circular Brush (Rundbürste). It seems availability is a challenge. Hopefully Paul's appearance at CES (and incidentally a video dem on this site) will open up more domestic availability.

I like microfiber looking brush on the Hannl, what some company needs to do is make what serious record collectors and archivists really need. A machine with two separate microfiber brushes and two separate vacuum wands/motors so that a wash and rinse cycle can be completed without having to start and stop the turntable and switch brushes and wands back and forth manually all the time.

One can dream.
