https://klaudio.com/

KLAudio is discontinuing their top of the line ultrasonic cleaners.
they site not being able to produce them at a profitable margin.

they will be focusing on tonearms.

There will be no additional  production and sales will be from existing stock and dealers.
service will be maintained as long as possible

i absolutely love my machine.

this sounds a lot like Oppo 

if you don't have the silencer you may want to consider buying one now.
it is a fabulous accessory for much lower noise.

I have my Kirmuss for 2 months. I have not compared it to other ultrasonic cleaners but I do own a Loricraft for 10 years. I was hesitant to buy the Kirmuss because of the process. But after cleaning 50-60 LPs I will say that it does a much better job than the Loricraft. 
The process of applying the surfactant is easy and effective. If you watch the video when Mr. Kirmuss discusses the whitish haze on the record after applying the surfactant, I can say that some LPs need multiple cycles to fully remove this stuff, while for others it’s gone after the 2nd cycle. But for those LPs with lots of “soap”, as Kirmuss would say, switching to 2 minute cycles with surfactant instead of 5 minute cycles worked out great for me.
The drying process is also easy. This is one reason I held out on getting the Kirmuss. In fact before I got it I thought I would use the Loricraft to vacuum up the water but it’s not necessary.
I was skeptical before getting the Kirmuss thinking that the smudge was just part of the process and it was all just snake oil. But the white smudge is not consistent from record to record. Some records are smudge free after 2 cycles, while others need more attention. What I do is I have multiple brushes for applying the surfactant and I spray each brush with distilled water and dry it off with the microfiber cloth. It’s a 30 second process.
