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 !
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.

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. |
@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 |
