I’ve been using a Degritter for about a week. Some of my older albums had some mould growth and it didn’t entirely remove that, even on heavy, so an enzyme cleaner and my existing VPI are still required. Apart from mould the Degritter seems to be enough and much less of a chore than all that mucking about with fluids and brushes.
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.
