Hi, glad you found the posting helpful. The only fluids I have ever used are the Spin Clean and Disc Dr. products. I find that the KLAudio works perfectly well with simply distilled water as is the recommendation via the company for this particular (discontinued) machine. The Degritter and the Audio Desk system do in fact make use of fluids. I spoke to a fellow who worked for one of the larger records sellers and he did recommend a diluted 90% water to 10% Disc Dr. solution in ANY of the machines as a very effective solution. Personally I think that is too high a ratio and would probably opt for a 1% addition of Disc Dr ( Extra Strength) per gallon of distilled water.
You are correct concerning the Nitty Gritty, that is a completely different technology and most certainly would benefit from a solution to aid the cleaning process. I use a Spin clean, the Disc Dr. kit and the KLAudio with 99% of my records cleaned via the KLAudio.
Once you use an ultrasonic record cleaner you will probably kick yourself, as did I for waiting so long :)
