Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning

My Cleaner Vinyl ultrasonic record cleaner arrived today and it’s impressive.

Everything I’d read indicated that ultrasonic was the way to go, and now I count myself among the believers. Everything is better - records are quieter, less ticks and pops, more detail etc.

All my records had been previously cleaned with a vacuum record cleaner and were well cared for. Nonetheless, the difference is obvious and overwhelmingly positive.

The VERY interesting Degritter brand Ultrasonic cleaner is scheduled to become available in January 2019, at what retail price I don’t know (last I heard, a little over $2,000). It operates at 120kHz, for reasons explained on the company’s website.

Whart is correct; the higher the frequency, the smaller the size of the bubbles, and the less powerful (put another way, the more gentle).

Ooh slaw, the MFSL A Salty Dog! One of my long-time favorite albums, I have owned the British Regal Zonophone pressing from the time of the album's release. How does the MF sound? Have you heard a Regal Zonophone for comparison? Great sounding album!
