Humminguru record cleaner

Almost all of my records are in NM condition, so I didn’t think I needed a record cleaner to replace my VPI 16.5. Also, my record surfaces are virtually silent.. But I was intrigued by the ultrasonic cleaners out there. So I bought one with the probability of a return. The results are amazing. This device cleans the records so well it’s like adding a new component to my system. And it’s only $500. With my already clean records I didn’t need the Degritter which is several times more expensive.

I recommend it highly.

I've been putting off purchasing a proper RCM for years, because of cost.

Good to read another positive outcome with the Hummingbird.

This appears to be the solution since my collection is generally in good condition. 

Water/solution or just water?

"I have enough invested in my record collection to justify a Degritter but I have yet to find compelling evidence that it does the job that much better than the HG to justify the price. With the $3K I’ve saved I buy better copies of favorite records that I can’t get acceptably clean."

This speaks to me.

I'll be hitting the "buy now" button for my own HG.
