Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner

I received notification yesterday that the Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner is finally making it into production. I have been watching the company for about a year, as the cleaner has moved from prototype to beta testing , and now to a limited production of the finalized (we’ll see ;-) version. The design is excellent, eliminating my reservations about the high-priced (around $4,000) ultrasonic cleaners, at a little over half their price (just over $2,000, last I read). The Degritter uses 120kHz as it’s ultrasonic frequency, and features water filtering and disc drying. It also looks cool, like a 1950’s toaster! Details available on the companys website.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but judging by your post above, you don’t have personal experience with US cleaning, and you’re ready to recommend the Walker fluid without personal experience. All the while, ready to question others’ experience?
Went and read the post again, its pretty darn clear I have records that were cleaned that way. All my comments were directed at the results, none at the use. The sequence is transgression, apology, repentance, then forgiveness. Not my rules. Your turn.

So then you've tried the machine he uses and know from experience it is inferior?

When it comes to cleaning records, or anything to do with getting the absolute best sound possible from them, I would defer to Better Records. They don't use ultra-sonic. They have by far the most pristine vinyl I've ever seen. They have by far the best sound I've ever heard. Pretty sure the machine they use is a lot more than $4k, but they also use Walker Enzyme Fluid for the bulk of the cleaning process. I would start with that.

Yeah sure its easy to take the position something else like in this case Degritter is at least as good if not better. Its ultrasonic! Blah. Blah. Blah.
I could not care less. Results are what counts in my book. Buy a couple Hot Stampers, hear how insanely good they are, realize they could not possibly be this good without an insanely good selection process- which includes cleaning with this- and then get back to me.
