Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System


Can anyone comment on the Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner?
I just came across this today on the web when I did a search on ultrasonic vinyl cleaner. I am looking for a quiet record cleaning machine. I have a nitty Gritty machine but it is too noisy.

I watched the video and this is a fascinating machine. Truly we are in the Golden Age of Recording Cleaning!

Does the device employ multiple fluid steps? Can you use any fluid or fluids with it or is there special AudioDesk Vinyl Cleaner fluid? Thanks.
One of the disturbing findings I had was that using it after I had cleaned records with the Walker Prelude and vacuumed it with the Delrin tubed VPI record cleaner. It was improved greatly. Also doing the reverse, greatly improved the sound???

Thanks, Tbg. If I'm understanding what you describe (which maybe I'm not) a second cleaning gave an improvement, and in so doing neither technology w/ attendant fluids distinguished itself?

That suggests a third type of test. Clean side A once with VPI followed by Audio Desk (the order doesn't matter), then clean side B twice with either one.

Maybe your post already answers this :) - have you found the greatest benefit of the Audio Desk to be how clean it gets a record versus some other method, or its convenience?
