I have both an isonic and a degritter. They work at different frequencies-the degritter at 120KHz and the isonic at 35Khz. The higher the frequency the better the cavitation in the groove-so a cleaner record where it counts. If cleaning more than 3-4 discs at a time, the cavitation isn't strong enough to completely clean the disc. Neil Antinn has commented on this many times. I think both are good machines and I use both, the isonic as an intermediary step and the DeGritter as a final distilled water and ethanol rinse. If I had to choose one, it would be the degritter all day long.
Recorded Cleaning Machnies
I'm going to buy a ultra sonic record cleaning machine. I am looking seriously at the Degritter MK2 but I just found the Isonic CS6.1-Pro Record Cleaning System, which has the advantage of cleaning 10 records at a time. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Comments? I have a lot of records (like most folks reading this I suppose) so cleaning 10 records at a time is a big deal. There is a price difference, but frankly, that is not too big a deal given what I am buying here.

@washline I believe the Kirmuss machine is a repurposed Isonic machine. I would compare prices. The people at Isonic are great to deal with, BTW |
