KLaudio or Degritter Mark II
@oldaudiophile, Below is a compare and contrast I did for someone regarding the Degritter vs the KLAudio.  This post is a quick overview of some of rules with ultrasonic cleaning: Audiogon Discussion Forum to refesh if needed.  Note that owning n... 
Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning
@orthomead, Here is the Clearaudio record cleaning solution manual - CA_Cleaning fluids_E+D.pdf (clearaudio.de).  If you read page 7, it shows how much alcohol to add to their Pure Groove essence "Since our regular Pure Groove has to be shipped a...

@mijostyn,  "I'm a bit confused. You said the record did not fluoresce but the rinse water did. The stuff that did not fluoresce on the record now fluoresces in the rinse water. I'm having trouble with that." The residue that was on the record...

@lewm, The records were dried enough to leave the record dry without static. However, I suspect you are misunderstanding what I was trying to say. So, let me rephrase this mathematically. If 5-ml of cleaner was applied to the record, 4-ml was suc...

FWIW: The benefit of the nonionic surfactant Tergitols 15-S-7 & 15-S-9 are their very high performance as compared to the older Triton X100. -Surface tension of the water is ~72 dynes/cm. -Surface tension of the record is ~37 dynes/cm. -10... 
UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
Not to escape the obvious, but was this near $4K cartridge not shipped with signature-required?

@wizzzard, The discourse with using Hansen solubility parameters is not unknown - Hansen solubility parameter - Wikipedia.  My use of it within this forum was only as a prediction.  If your feelings on this subject are so intense, you have a poss...

@kylehildebrant . My reference for a concern was an open top UT tank with 6000-ml and larger volume. Your HG contains 350-ml in a mostly closed tank. Ask the manufacturer who is very responsive to requests what they think.  Beyond flammability th...

@wizzzard, You can say what you wish, but the law (29 CFR 1910.106) is very specific as to what is classified as flammable - NFPA_30_Fact_Sheet_2021.ashx. And, in larger volumes, in small spaces, flammable vapors can be build up - NFPA Journal - ...

@lewm, The KL Audio is 40kHz, with four 50W horizontally positioned transducers, two each side (200W total) with a UT tank volume of only about 0.78L - that is it's a very powerful machine.  Note that the reservoir is 2.4L, but someone recently m...

@mijostyn,  RE:  Is there any data on the extraction of ESO by Chlorofluorocarbons? Granted it is only 1% of the formulation but wouldn't extraction of ESO actually harden the PVC? Not that I am aware of.  The Navy in 1994 reported testing of N...

@lewm,  In polymer science there is an entire field of study surrounding the Hansen Solubility Parameters with a brief introduction here:  Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites (turi.org).  There is a large handbook available to purchas...
