I rinse with a repurposed idler drive turntable with a ribbed rubber mat that makes minimal contact with the vinyl. I then vac with a KAB. Nothing but the felt lips touch the record surface. I could not imagine not rinsing with ultrapure water and vacing after ultrasonic cleaning. The US cleaning fluid has all kinds of dirt and impurities in it that will be left on the record surface without a proper rinse and vac.
Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning
For anyone who is a proponent of vacuuming their vinyl after an ultrasonic cleaning rather than letting it fan dry, since both sides will be wet how do you protect the "down" wet side during the process? My VPI 16.5 has a foam mat, but that will get soaked over time and may transfer dust/ particles to the cleaned wet surface.
Thanks for any advice.......
