Record Cleaning Machine- Keith Monks or Loricraft?

Does the excellent build quality of Keith Monks RCMs apply to the current production models (ie post 2008) as compared to those made while he was still alive (ie before 2005)?

Many thanks for the excellent information. It is facinating to me in this day and age to be discussing the fine points of current production high-end vinyl cleaning machines!
Apparently the pump used by Keith Monks is made for kidney dialysis machines. So, going from removing impurities in the blood stream to cleaning impurities in vinyl records - both essential analog functions.

Are you using the Monks discOvery fluid as one step, i.e. without a water rinse after the cleaning? The reviews seem to also describe a one step process. If this is the case, does it make more sense to get the Classic with it's one brush configuration as opposed to the two brush Omni? Or is a second brush useful for a water rinse step after cleaning, depending on the cleaning fluid used?

I am confused as to whether to use one step (clean only) or two steps (clean, then rinse). If the vacuum removes all the cleaning fluid efficiently in one pass, is a rinse step really necessary, or is it good practice to do so?

Thanks for sharing. A one step process with a quiet and efficient machine makes record cleaning look more than tolerable.

I think that the one brush current production KM Classic is the right choice for me.

I now have a Keith Monks Ruby RCM which I started using today. Wow, it really cleans that vinyl! I am not always getting enough suction according to the dial (-10 to -15), but records are completely dry after vacuuming. I am sure that it will take more than just cleaning 4 LPs to get the hang of it all...

The machine is built like a tank and is certainly quiet enough to use while playing music. A 3 step process (KM BreakTheMold pre-wash, KM discOvery 33 wash, pure water rinse) does not seem too onerous.
