Recorded Cleaning Machnies

@tablejockey,

For the price, the HumminGuru Nova has an updated higher operating frequency 

FYI, the new HG-Nova does not use a higher frequency, it's the same kHz and power as the original.  Download and compare the two operating manuals: HumminGuru Owner's Manual.  The Nova adds some convenience features, uses a wall-wart versus a brick power supply, and makes cleaning 45-records easier.

Cool, they must on record and clean super fast .... 

I have a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic (long name) cleaning machine, and I like it very much. It does both mechanical and sonic cleaning/drying on both sides of an LP  at the same time. I had a VPI 16.5 for many years and this is much easier in my old age.

The iSonic is a great machine. I wrote about it extensively here on Agon.  I clean 7 records at a time and use filtered tap water. Records come out shiny, glossy and sound noticeably better after a 10 minute clean followed by an 8 minute rinse and the rapid spin air dry that takes about 3-5 minutes.  Highly recommended ! 

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.
