I've had great success with the Gem Dandy Record Cleaning Machine followed by an ultrasonic bath in David Ratliff's Ultrasonic V-8 machine. I don't think anything can beat high powered tap water to clean out the grooves of a record. However, you still need the ultrasonic with distilled water to take care of any mineral residue with the tap water. I am seriously considering adding a Kirmuss, though, for older records that require multiple cleanings.
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.
