I’ve tried/bought a Kirmus ultrasonic cleaner and it worked well, heard blacker backgrounds on many LP’s, not all but thought it did a good job. Problem was it has so many steps involved in the cleaning process the machine just sat around and I never used it. Bought a Keith Monks RCM and have been extremely happy in it’s ability to clean LP’s, it’s quick and very quiet and only takes around 2-1/2 minutes per side. I use it almost daily without issue.
Ultrasonic record cleaners
I have a modest lp collection, mixed bag of original college age purchases, used records before the current renewed interest, and some newer albums to replace some older issues from the p mount needle days. Have a vpi 16 machine and audio intelligent form 6 fluid. I’m not finding a significant improvement on my noisier issues. The price of ultrasonic cleaners have come down to a price I would consider. Appreciate the experiences of those who have purchased the ultrasonic machines, are they superior to my vpi and are the less expensive models effective?
TIA
