Thank you Spencer and Thank you Whart. I will continue to research this week.
Okki Nokki or kirmuss audio / isonic ultrasonic rcm?
Friends,
I’m looking to invest in a record cleaning regiment. I am trying to balance cost, time and quality. I have a Monday-Friday job, live in a smallish condo with a fiancé. I have about 200 albums (80% used / 20% new) and will flip in and out garage / record store finds, sell as needed ending up with clean, quiet records. Budget is a concern and will most likely spin 33/45.
ISonic is more generic, almost no reviews but cleans 4 LPs at once, I can finish with a spin clean rinse with distilled water. Isonic automatically spins while I can do other things like prepping. Blot (recommend a cloth please) with a towel, air dry on a rack (20-30minutes) then put in sleeve city inner sleeves.
kirmuss has more reviewers but cleans 2 LPs at once only. Machine seems the same with an adapter. The 2 slot seems like a deal breaker for me.
Im not sure if these will remove any finger prints so I might need to manually scrub anyway.
If I go the okki nooki route, i would manually scrub off finger prints, oils, smoke, vacuum, flip record, clean, vacuum. Then rinse in spin clean with distilled water, back on to vacuum, flip, vacumm then to the drying rack for less time.
Id love to hear thoughts on pros / cons of these. I know about the record doctor (add KAB bearing). But ON reviews say it’s quieter and possibly faster / more automatic. I’m looking to buy once, cry once here.
Thanks in advance.
