How often you change the fluid will depend on how dirty the records are to begin with. My record collection is in already excellent condition, since I have used a vacuum cleaning machine since the 80's. Even so, I change the fluid every 50 records. I cannot imagine cleaning a record in dirty fluid, then allowing the machine to air dry all that crap back onto the record. I do not use the drying cycle for that reason; instead I shut the machine off once the cavitation is finished, then rinse the record in a Spin Clean, then dry with a vacuum machine. A lot of work but my method leaves zero residue on the record when finished. Yes, I'm crazy like that :-)
Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers?
Howdy,
Reaching out to other Audio Desk owners here. I am wondering how often do change the rollers, filter and the fluid. Do you go by the pamphlets or play by ear (no pun intended). I waited for about 150 records before changing the fluid and filter and the fluid was SUPER nasty. I think I will do 100 records now but of course, it depends on how dirty the records are to begin with.
Also, the pamphlet says "not to leave the fluid in the machine for long", which is completely subjective. If you have to drain the system every week (which by the way, is no simple task for a single person) how long do you have to wait to put it back?
