Cost to clean a record


I’ve heard a number of discussions reviewing various record cleaning systems.  But, I’ve only heard one vague reference, months ago, saying something like “too expensive to clean a record for me”.  I know people here are very meticulous in specs & quality.  So, I’m sure people regularly cost out their expenses.  I’d really like to know what people have observed as their cleaning cost per record of the various systems out there.   Also, as part of this, are there parts that wear out after X number of cleanings or “regular maintenance” & those costs.  Finally, are their opinions related to “X does a great job but, for $100 less Y does almost as job a job”

I’ve realized it really is a necessity & decided it’s time to pull the trigger on this.

I really appreciate all the wisdom out there.  Thanks

The best is the KL Audio KD CLN LP 200 not cheap but it uses distilled water so its pennies a record.I myself have over 6,000 records many such as British Columbia Violin records that are worth over 1k a disc.I had VPI 16.5 and 17F the KL Audio ultrasonic is by far the best.If your budget is not up to it get a mint used VPI 16.5.Enjoy!!
