to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner)

By the way, I just completed a dozen records cleaned in the Degritter.  My tubes are warming up now and I'll soon be playing some records to listen for proof in the pudding (so to speak).  I have to say, the materials, build quality, and fit & finish is absolutely first class.  The menu and operating system are very simple to navigate & operate.  Functionally, this machine is an absolute gem.  Listening to some records today should be good.  Listening to more, later tonight, should be even better.  Music always seems to be better in the evening, when the light is a bit dim.  Maybe a couple glasses of wine adds to that...😊

Funny how that music sounds better in dim lighting. Just like things sound louder at night overall. Maybe record cleaners clean better at night too! Just saying 

Looking at a 10L tank from Amazon & a 6LP spindle from the Bay & could put together an US machine for under $250 that does 6 discs in a cycle. Cost on the machines & components has been dropping. I haven't placed the orders but I should.

This and other threads point to Degritter being "flavor of the month."
I guess since the AD isn't available now, a used one wouldn't be a smart buy(service)?

Looks like another year of waffling for me. That, and low tech Spin Clean.

Should I hold my breath for a used Degritter for...$1K? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Decision made.
So after reading up more on US RCMs (see I even have the acronyms down now) I have decided to go with the degritter.

The link Mammothguy54 Provided answers to my questions and put my mind at ease in regards to the machine causing damage to my vinyl. The machine manages the water temp, the transport system was highly touted by the reviewer and nothing is pressing against the record when inserting in the slot. I even cringe when sliding my records between the felt brushes on my spin clean. The review also goes into detail as to why degritter chose to use 120 Hz frequency as the best and safest to use in vinyl cleaning (I’m sure that is debatable but I like what I read). It seems that the degritter was designed with vinyl record cleaning in mind as opposed to adapting a machine meant for multiple purposes to cleaning records. I like the fact that it’s software driven and allows for future updates. Many of the features I would want in a RCM are packaged in the degritter. I won’t go into all of them here but the link is a couple post above and if you are looking to buy one of these machines and are on the fence it’s a worthwhile read. Oh and the price is right. $3k is a lot of money but from what I have read it’s about mid point price for these devices and if it does as good a job as anticipated its worth it to me. Will it make a difference in sound quality? I guess we will find out. If this thing does as good a job as the review implies it would almost have to. Also there is a retailer in my local area which is a plus. I like to do business with a smile and a handshake. Life is all about relationships.
I plan to pick one up this week. I will report back on my experience.
Please excuse any typos as this was written in my cell.
