| Ultrasonic Record Cleaner 40 v 80 v 120 kHz @jwr159, If you read the book, Chapter XIV XIV.4 Record Spacing, and XIV.6 Record Rotation Speed you should realize that they are spinning too many records too fast. Otherwise, the 4875 tank is 40-kHz and 160W while the CS6.1 is 48-kHz and I be... | |
| Objective Data re: Record Cleaning To objectively measure the efficiency of a cleaning process, you always start with a known contaminated standard and then measure how much of the contaminates were removed. This is generally accomplished with parts of a specific area and weight w... | |
| Ultrasonic Record Cleaner 40 v 80 v 120 kHz The Audiodesk_Pro is a very low powered UT device. The manual Audiodesk_Pro_Manual-2018-7-Inch-Kit.pdf (galibierdesign.com) indicates an overall power of power 90W (which include the rollers) and a volume of 4.5-L which at best yields 20W/L but m... | |
| Ultrasonic Record Cleaner 40 v 80 v 120 kHz @jwr159, No I do not use UT. I do not clean enough records, and convenience is not something that is a priority to me. The manual process leverages chemistry (detergents & acid, Liquinox, Citranox & Tergitol) especially the acid that you ... | |
| Ultrasonic Record Cleaner 40 v 80 v 120 kHz @jwr159, First - recommend reading this article awad-reprint II (crest-ultrasonics.com), and the take-away is that for record cleaning, much above 80-kHz has no real benefit. Second, if you read this post - Ultrasonic Cavitation & Cleaning... | |

| Aqueous Record Cleaning Questions John, Section III Step 4.3 states "If using Distilled white vinegar (5% acidity) add to spray (or wash) bottle and fill 1/2 to 3/4 full." You fill with just distilled white vinegar - what you buy in the grocery store should be labeled distilled w... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @vitussl101, The book addresses many subjects including the science behind cleaning agents, how clean does a record need to be and details for ultrasonic cleaning for those going the DIY route. But the manual sink-cleaning procedure is very simpl... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @whart, and for every one of those discussions, I similarly learned a lot. Your encyclopedic knowledge of the past industry both hardware and music are quite impressive, and as a music reviewer you are the equal of any other. And you're taking t... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio, It is a little misterious becaus, in my system, ONLY THE CLEANED RECORDS caused problems. I hear no difference in other records and the system seems ok to me. I will now check all the TT set-up because the problem must lie there. I... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @oldrooney, Thank you for the compliment but let us not forget the contribution of @whart who generously stepped in as Editor and Publisher making the book available for free via his site - Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio Do you think doubling the drying time can help to remove the eventual residue? Drying longer is not going to reduce/remove the residue. Nonionic surfactant in their 100% state is often like thin oils and are essentially non-volatil... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @whart, The book in Chapter XIV lists no-rinse concentrations. Concentrations specified (see Table XXIII Nalgene™ Dropper Bottle Use for Degritter™ & Humminguru™) are good enough for wetting only. If the concentration is high enough to get ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio, You previously said you tried only your old distilled water and the machine caused no problems. Then you bought new distilled water and added two drops of the cleaning fluid, as recommend by the brand. After a careful glistening, I ... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pindac As the book says, BASF™ Dehypon® LS 54 nonionic surfactant is a substitute for Tergitol 15-S-9 but is only available from the UK - Dehypon - 1 Litre – Conservation Resources (UK) Ltd (conservation-resources.co.uk). Polysorbate 20 is... |
