Trixie Whitley "Fourth Corner" import
Caroline Spence "Mint Condition"

Got NO love when I introduced it here a while back. I love it!
Alejandro Escovedo "The Crossing"

I recently found out the Sheila E is (Escovedo) Alejandro's cousin.
Emmy Lou Harris "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town" MFSL

One of my very early MOFI purchases @ a record show (used) , vinyl still looks pristine. Her voice is represented so beautifully on this record.
T-Rex "Tanx"  WLP
"A Night in the Tropics" Utah Symphony Orchestra   TAS list
The talk this week about blues records has me cleaning my OP/Decca/UK John Mayall "Blues From Laurel Canyon"
@mayoradamwest 

I just assumed you hadn't made the purchase yet, so sorry for the post.

To answer your question...if one's priority in a US machine is convenience, the AD is your guy. It does a better job of cleaning than the velvet-lipped, vacuum machines and costs quite a bit as well. AD has a reputation of a limited lifetime (3-4 years). Then it isn't user serviceable. 
I put together my DIY machine based on @rushton  comprehensive thread and did some testing. You can find most of this (my testing) on the "Thumbs up for ultrasonic cleaning" thread. 

With the AD one cannot clean the inside of it's tank easily/never completely. The rollers are nice but actually interfere with the cavitation process. There is no heating cycle. The cleaning cycle is way too short for maximum cleaning.
@uberwaltz,

My normal work week, nothing exciting I’m afraid. Noticed you've been equipment shopping again?
had to finish mowing.....

"The Lion & the Cobra" is a really good lp, going to listen to side 2 again.
Jimi Hendrix "Axis:Bold As Love" 2013/Mono/Sony...totally forgot I owned this...most likely sourced from digital....
Delicate Steve "Positive Force"

Hey @16f4,

@uberwaltz,

I hear ya buddy. It was the fault of auto record changers back in the day.
Neil Young "Road Rock" ( Friends & Relatives) dbl/lp
The Youngbloods "Beautiful!" (Live in San Francisco, 1971) Sundazed
So the stereo version has the vocals coming out of one channel and the drums/other from the opposing channel. This is what bothers me. Just like the Beatles mono/stereo comparisons. If a record is originally in mono, give me mono any day of the week!
Now, BS "S/T" mono
