CleanerVinyl Ultrasonic record cleaning system.


Does anyone have experience with this U/S record cleaning system. It seems a very economical way to go considering the $3-4K all in one systems.
Thank you

Sorry, no. But I am having very good success with the Vinyl Stack Sonic Spin kit:

And a Trusonik 10L ultrasonic tank:

An apparent advantage of the Vinyl Stack is complete coverage of the record labels as shown in their YouTube video:

Additional factors you should consider are:
1. Filtering the water in your US tank in between batches of records
2. The surfactant solution you use in your tank
3. Final rinsing and vac drying of your records

Some resources for additional information are the following threads at VPI, Audio Kharma and diyAudio:

Rushton,
Thank you for this most informative post.
Do you feel Tergikleen is the way to go? 
I will look strongly at the vinyl stack and ultrasonic cleaner 40Khz vs 80 Khz later being 3 times more expensive.

Rafr, I'm not sold on TergiKleen as a solution. It's awfully expensive for something that is basically Tergitol. A simple and inexpensive variant of Tergitol that many people are using very successfully is Triton X-100, recommended by the chemist in the Audio Kharma thread above and readily available from Amazon and Talas.
   http://talasonline.com/Triton-X-100

My tank solution is a combination of Tergitol S-15-3 and S-15-9 (because I cannot obtain the S-15-7 recommended in the Library of Congress formula since I'm not a laboratory). The Triton X-100 is a single alternative Tergitol so one less blending step. (Tergitol is made in a mind-numbing number of slightly different formulations for differing purposes).

FWIW, Harry Weisfeld has tested both 40khz and 60khz tanks and reports he cannot tell any difference between them in the results he hears. ( See: http://vpiindustries.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7946#p7946 ) The tank I listed above is a 40khz tank that is also sold with the Ultrasonic Records V-8 kit and has been working well for a lot of people. It's certainly working well for me. 

I am pretty well convinced that you should plan for 1" spacing of your records in whatever setup you choose, and that you not overload the tank. That is: up to 4 records in a 10L tank (not 8) and up to 3 records in a 6L tank.

Rafr, here’s a link for the formulation I am currently using in my ultrasonic tank. It’s giving excellent results when followed by a double rinse:

For the two Tergitols I’m using (S-15-3 and S-15-9), you could substitute Triton X-100.

For rinsing, I find my best results come from using a high purity water and vacuum drying between rinses. If you have a Whole Foods Market in your area, their bulk dispense DI water is nearly comparable to Type 1 Reagent grade lab water, and the cost is just $0.39 per gallon (bring your own container).

In my final rinse, I do use Type 1 Reagent Grade water that a local lab is kind enough to give me from time to time. In my final rinse, I also add a bit of 95% Ethanol (for not more than 3% of the total rinse solution). The Ethanol is highly volatile and serves to bind and further contaminants in the groove, act as a surfactant to get into the grooves and as a drying agent to speed drying without any residue.
