FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner?

encouraging insight, daveyf.

So you DO feel it works as good comparing the Kirmuss...

Know I'm interested. Thanks!

"However, I did hear some of the pops and clicks that have been mentioned on other forums after i cleaned one LP that i did not remember before, although this issue was also present with the Kirmuss."

daveyf- How about another go around? If so, do you notice these errant noises eliminated?

The Degritter ultimately is the answer, but I have my wallet involved in too many hobbies, thus forced to seek out the "best bang for the buck."

"recent tests of the production model (seen in three videos I’ve watched) aren’t entirely convincing. It doesn’t appear to have the cleaning power of the Degritter..."

I'm wary of the price-"ya get what you pay for"

Perhaps a little more time to figure out getting a more powerful process and keep price low-then time to jump on it.

The idea appears solid. The DIY's are too DIY. Someone will figure out how to refine it hopefully.

I'll likely end up getting the Degritter or something of that caliber. Until then, keep hope SOMEONE will find a way to make a proper machine at a more digestible price.

'If you continue waiting on the perfect machine/price.....you’ll never hear how these types of machines can benefit your listening experience.'

Slaw-I'm afraid you're right.  Reality is a Degritter/Audio Desk level machine simply can't be made for under....$1K retail?

I've had the pleasure of getting some favorites US cleaned, and appreciate  what's possible. Nothing beats  listening to a freshly cleaned "stamper."
