+1 for the Degritter. Pricey but effective and easy to use. I’ve owned a nice Clearaudio vacuum LP cleaner for a decade but seldom got around to using it. Cleaning that way is its own time-consuming project, so I’d save up LPs to do in a batch, which usually meant going months. The Degritter sits in my walk-in closet ready to go; I just drop in a record and it’s cleaned while I’m listening to music in the next room. Love it. The Clearaudio is still handy for scrubbing very dirty used vinyl, but I’ve pulled it out only once in the 2 years I’ve owned the Degritter.
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
