Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection

Anyone who says a higher end ultrasonic cleaner did nothing for them was doing something wrong.  The vast majority of my vinyl sounds nearly as quiet as a CD.  As stated, you can't fix physical damage with one, but if you're using a good cart with a good cleaner, the results can be amazing.  Keep in mind, the higher end machines operate at a higher frequency than the lower end machines and those designed for purposes other than vinyl, which means they have smaller bubbles which penetrate deeper into the grooves.  The best cartridge you can afford/justify also can make a huge difference.  I learned that lesson when I upgraded from a Hana ML to a Hana Umami Red.  The difference was more than I ever dreamed possible, and the ML is no slouch!
