KLaudio or Degritter Mark II

Yes, I have it downloaded already.

I've discussed this with other people that have these and our unanimous observation is that the ownership of this is far more impactful on ones vinyl appreciation experience than an upgrade in a phono stage.

@skywachr I have often described proper record cleaning as the biggest upgrade I have ever experienced. I have never had any reason to change my mind on that.

Not terribly helpful in answering your question, but I have no complaints about my combination of a Loricraft followed by a Degritter MkI. It is entirely possible that other things will be better still, but if records come out of my two machines silent, how can we tell?

Maybe what would be helpful is this datum: I have never relied on the Degritter alone. I don't want to contaminate the tank of water it re-uses, so I remove all gross nastiness with the Loricraft. I do use a home-made mixture of ethanol, PhotoFlo and distilled water in the Loricraft. Then pure DW in the Degritter. You could rephrase your enquiry for those that use a Degritter alone. If I didn't already own the Loricraft, I'd answer that on behalf of a MkI.

There is a very long thread about experiences with the Degritter here. I believe it's a fraction of the price of the Klaudio.

If you search this forum, @wizzzard who is a chemist, did a very good job of analyzing LAST.

That man is in need of help!

That is remarkably charitable, Neil. And as for help being needed, I recognise a fellow autistic, and would help but it is not wanted in any shape or form: indeed, it is repulsed. All I can do (maybe any of us) is to ensure I enjoy several hours of clean vinyl for every minute spent on that thread.
