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.

I've been interested in ultrasonic cleaning for some time. Having a background in ultrasonics in the engineering laboratory setting, I am even more curious now that so many high-end hi-fi users are seemingly impressed by its application to vinyl cleaning.

I'm sure most all of you are aware of the past claims that ultrasonic cleaning adversely affects high frequency information in the vinyl (somehow).  These claims I've read were interesting, but the claimants indicated neither the level of sophistication of their cleaning process nor their audio systems.

I'm sold on experimenting with the cleaning process, but my knowledge of ultrasonics gives me pause as I consider these claims regarding high frequency affects on the vinyl.   Since I haven't seen it mentioned here, can anyone also address this concern so as to allay my trepidations?  Thanks!
