@skywachr Thanks for posting in on this one! I have read other encouraging accounts of the useful life or life expectancy of the Degritter. It's good to know or hear that it is a robust or quality manufactured machine. I've also read that Degritter offers re-build services for what seems like a reasonable price, although I'm not clear on what exactly that all entails (e.g. shipping to & from Estonia; etc.). I'm still keeping my eye out on that machine and hoping for a sale and/or a price drop.
KLaudio or Degritter Mark II
Just curious to know if anyone out there has used both the KLaudio ultrasonic record cleaning machine and the Degritter Mark II (or the original Degritter) and which you thought achieved the best or better results.
I've got a lash-up ultrasonic cleaning system that I've put together which costs significantly less than the original Degritter. The end result I get with my lash-up system is, at least, as effective as the original Degritter but significantly more labor intensive. The Degritter is much more eloquent in this regard, which is its allure. I know the KLaudio is twice the price, but I'm much more interested in optimum results.
Thanks!

@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. |
Keep in mind the Degritter might be half the cost of the KL but I believe the life expectancy of the KL is much greater than the Degritter (according to some power user shops using them). In the end the price per clean with KL is likely less than the Degritter assuming you will clean that many records. I went from orig KL to Degritter mk1 to KL 200T. I preferred the Degritter to original KL but the 200T to the Degritter. The 200T is easier to use and takes less time. Both offer great results.
