Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System

Recently local dealer was kind to offer an exchange of a brand new set since they just received a batch of new shipment. 3 sets brand new out of the box, none works! First set: rollers not moving. Second set: the water doesn't pump up. Third set: Doesn't turn on at all. That's how unreliable it is. I finally gave up and asked for a replacement of a different RCM. a

Ical, that is very disappointing. I don't have one any longer and have a VPI with the delrin tube, but I still have not cleaned any records since I sent the Vinyl Cleaner back. I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet.

Gents,

Sorry, I should have clarified that my little rant ("...audio jewelry) was in response to Thuchan's note on the LR1 unit, not the AudioDesk.

But the reports about the poor reliability of the Ultrasonic cleaner are disappointing. I have thought about building a similar cleaner, only using Megasonic transducers instead of Ultrasonic units which can pit and etch vinyl and other materials.

It's a big disappointment. A great machine but only when it's working. With it's reliability problem and very poor after sales service, I strongly don't recommend this machine, especially at this price. However, I'll still consider if he come out with a new and better machine that manage to solve all the issue.

I finally bit the bullet and bought one. The first one was DOA. I had to wait a couple of months to have it replaced as the dealer was waiting for the next shipment from Germany. It works perfectly and cleans very well. I feel it is one of the best purchases I have made. Much less labor intensive than my old VPI.
