KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner.

https://klaudio.com/

KLAudio is discontinuing their top of the line ultrasonic cleaners.
they site not being able to produce them at a profitable margin.

they will be focusing on tonearms.

There will be no additional  production and sales will be from existing stock and dealers.
service will be maintained as long as possible

i absolutely love my machine.

this sounds a lot like Oppo 

if you don't have the silencer you may want to consider buying one now.
it is a fabulous accessory for much lower noise.

I like my Degritter. Have had it for a couple weeks now. I pulled the trigger when they had a few blemished units for sale at a discount. When I got my machine I really couldn’t see anything wrong with it and it works just fine.

Too bad about KL Audio discontinuing their unit. I was pretty impressed when a couple record stores here locally were using the machine to clean inventory. If the price had been closer to the Degritter I might have grabbed one.

@vortrex I have been using the medium wash for the most part, but do a heavy wash on occasion. I have a question for you. Have you yet encountered the cooling cycle engaging during any of you washes?

@vortrex interesting my fan does not stay on after the cleaning cycle is finished. It will come on after about a minute to two into the wash cycle (usually following the third or fourth record in a row that I have cleaned), add the two minute cooling process to the wash cycle, then go back to washing, and eventually drying. At the end of the drying cycle the machine stops. Now sometimes there will be more than one cooling process during a wash, but I am told by Degritter that during this process where the water is being filtered to cool down the record is still being cleaned.
