Isonic vs Kirmuss vinyl record cleaner


I am considering purchasing a Kirmuss or Isonic ultrasonic record cleaner. Insights from those with experience with either of these Ultrasonic record cleaners would be appreciated. I currently use a VPI 16.5 vacuum machine now; Will ultrasonic cleaning in general be a noticeable improvement over the VPI? Thanks for your help

iSonic's systems clean up to 10 albums at the same time, 1 to 9 albums can also be cleaned. Unless a slot-type ultrasonic cleaner, mix and matches of 10" and 12" LPs are not a problem. All moving mechanisms are above water. Slot-type cleaners have gears in the water and long-term durability is questionable. iSonic has label protectors with silicone gaskets that totally seal off the label areas while slot-type cleaner can't have label protectors. Slot-type lid seal off the tank so heat generated by the transducers can't escape and it causes overheating of the unit. Cleaning is done by ultrasonic cavitations which are millions of invisible air bubbles which implode and knock off debris in groves, crevices, deep holes, not by rubbing the records in 15 steps. Cavitations are in such microscopic level that 1/2" or even 1/16" are like 3-lane highway to a motorcycle. Grooves on the records are much smaller than the spacing between the records. Saying the spacing too small in iSonic's systems is total lie. Saying iSonic's system damages records is a total lie. Kirmuss has said (not anymore) he has arranged the transducers in special angels and that's a total lie. All customers of iSonic ultrasonic vinyl record cleaners are happy with the sound effect after cleaning. Tha's proof that iSonic's system, spacing between the records and the cleaning solution work.

iSonic's new PRO accessories have added spin-drying capability using a step motor which can be run at low speed for cleaning and up to 600 rpm for spin drying. A 1-micron in-water filter is also added. It takes about 8-10 minutes to clean a set of records, another 8-10 minutes to spin dry them. All together, it takes about 30 minutes to clean and dry a set of 10 albums. It's the most efficient system on the market. You may watch videos at www.youtube.com/isonicinc.

iSonic has introduced a CS6.1-PRO which is a new model designed specifically for vinyl record cleaning. CS6.1's size is about half of the older models P4875II and P4875-NH. It has a heater with 3-temperature settings and high temperature warning. You can also clean 45s with a simple spindle adapter, no additional motor is needed. Please see the brochure from the link below.
