Regarding the Kirmuss, Analog Planet Fremer says, "I can't see the restoration on vinyl records, but I can definitely hear it"
to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner)
Hi Audiogoners,
So I have been considering investing in an ultrasonic record cleaning maching. Prob like some of you I question the ROI. So. I have a friend that purchased one and luckily he allowed me to take it for a spin (no pun intended).
I wanted to compare the results to my record cleaning system which is a Spin clean ($150) and a Record doctor record Vacuum ($300). I wont say what brand of ultrasonic cleaner I tested as not to disparage, or promote that brand publicly to be fair. if you want to know which one you can send me a private msg.
so to keep it simple I will let you judge for yourself. I have posted two pics taken with a USB microscope to my virtual systems page. Test1 and test 2. One of these pics was taken after cleaning with my system and the other with the ultrasonic cleaner
Can you tell which one is the ultrasonic??
should be intersting

I’m planning to order a Kirmuss based on Fremer’s review: “...gleaming, shiny, like-new-looking record, even more brilliant than a similar record cleaned with the Audiodesksysteme“ which seemed to be at least or better than the Audiodesk. Not looking forward to cleaning all my vinyl. I may also get a fully automatic Degritter - a newer design with a filter and at least $1k lower cost than other automatic cleaners |
@barnettk - please let us know your impressions of the sonics before and after using the Degritter, maybe comparing it to your previous cleaning process |
