I went from a VPI 16.5 (still have) only to a Vinyl Stack/Generic 40 khz Ultrasonic set-up to the Degritter (have had it now for a few weeks). IMO, each change was an improvement. I've done over 400 lp's on the Degritter in that time (heavy cycle) and have played several. Very impressed on how quiet the albums are and can hear more detail and better bass. That said, some of the albums I've listened to aren't completely noise free -- I've not recleaned yet to see if there is an improvement or if it's just now in the vinyl due to age or other factor.
The Degritter is so easy to use and a time saver. Drop the record in, start, and come back in about 10 minutes (on Heavy) to a clean/dry record. That said, using heavy cycle, I find the machine's cooling cycle does kick in after the 2nd record or so when I am doing a batch at a time (sometimes 20-30 per day as I'm recleaning my entire collection). It just adds a bit of time. No user interaction required.
Overall, I recommend the Degritter.
