Humminguru record cleaner

It’s hard to believe how much better records sound when cleaned ultrasonically,

Tablejockey,

For now I’m just using tap water.  Soon I will get distilled water, which is recommended.  I’m not worried because I don’t have hard water.

Its really a great and easy machine to operate.

How often do you do maintenance on the Humminguru?

I’ve ordered it from Amazon.  Arriving tomorrow.

My records are not by any means “filthy” and, it’s not my imagination, the SQ is palpably better after cleaning with the Humminguru.

@bondmanp 

i know of no downside to this cleaner.  I was very surprised to discover it actually improved the SQ of records.  Its frequency is evidently not too low to be effective. And it’s very easy to operate.

Yes!

I looked up the video instructions for the Kirmuss record restorer.  All I can say is, if you’ve got a lot of time on your hands this machine is for you. There are at least 10 steps in the process, every one of them time consuming.  Undoubtedly the results are better, but is the improvement so much better as to spend half a day cleaning a few records worth it?

I’ll stick with the Humminguru.

I’m going through my 2000 odd record collection that I had given up for dead and am rediscovering gems because I'm using the Humminguru. I never knew how good many of them really sounded. They’ve come to life.
