Anyone have first hand experience with new Keith Monks Prodigy.....


Been a long time lurker -- since the Doug Deacon daze....
Lot of things have gotten in the way of my analog stuff...

Looking at how record cleaning has evolved... and my faithfull (but LOUD) VPI 16.5 decided it did not like exposure to moisture... yea my fault.
Looking for first hand experience with the new Prodigy RCM From Keith Monks .....
Bamboo would make it through the years, service in the USA? etc...

Appreciate first hand input...

BTW -- thanks Mr Deacon, and, 4yanx, TWL, and of course Raul R. -- oops showing my age in a new era.

Like the cat in the pic-- Lucky sez......

I've been using a Prodigy for many months now and have cleaned hundreds of LPs with great results. Initially it took some trial and error to get just the right amount of fluid spread on the LP but after that it takes just over 2 minutes a side to clean. The machine is fairly quiet but I've heard they are or maybe already have come out with quieter units. I've also experimented with different cleaning fluids but find the fluid that comes with the unit does the best job. I've even bought more of the same from my dealer. 
@focusedfx funny you should mention the Kirmuss unit. I bought one but what a PITA to use (yes it cleaned records great) but after 2 -3 weeks sold it. No regrets. Use the Prodigy now daily.
