At three feet from the Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Cleaner (ADSVC) the C-weighted sound level is 74 dB while the fans are running to dry a record, much quieter than a Nitty Gritty in my experience. The wet cleaning portion of the cycle is much quieter. None of the previous comments in response to your post were informed by experience with the ADS unit since none had shipped to purchasers in the U.S. before 14 AUG. All of it was conjecture. Ultrasound was used to clean 200,000 records at the Swedish Radio Library without damage. The ADSVC doesn't noticeably warm the record or the bath. The blow drying is a complete success, leaving the record ready to place in its inner sleeve. Discs sound pristine after treatment with the ADSVC, unless of course the pressing itself is noisy or the record is scratched. I found a Warren Zevon record recently that had paper fibers pressed into the grooves during manufacture. A 200 gram pressing from Cisco that had been cleaned previously with the Disc Doctor system and dried on a vacuum slot sounded less noisy after further treatment with the ADSVC.
