CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner

I purchased a Cleanervinyl Pro recently and am very impressed with it! I have used vacuum style cleaners for many years. Last year I purchased a $3000.00 vacuum style record cleaner and thought that was about as good as I was going to get for cleaning records, but I was wrong. The CleanerVinyl Pro system cost me around $600.00, it is far superior to vacuum style cleaners. I took some lp’s that I couldn’t get fully clean with my Vacuum record cleaner and was able to get them clean with the CleanerVinyl system. You can see the crud that collects in the bottom of the machine, and these were already cleaned with a vacuum record cleaner.

Peter...what ever happened to the unit you ordered from China(?) and they sent you a CD player instead.

Did you ever pursue that unit further?  I was really interested in that unit and was hoping you had some experience with it.

Yes, US cleaning is far superior. I use a German Elmasonic machine and thrice-filtered running water rinse, and a distilled water bath. Air dry.

IME much is gained by following US cleaning with a vacuum rather than air dry. The US machine removes crud, but also leaves loosened debris on the LP for extraction by the vacuuming. I start with 20 minutes in the Elmasonic, and end with a TergiKleen liquid brushing on the VPI 16.5 followed by six rotations with the vacuum wand. The last few rotations are completely dry-- which may cause consternation to some, but does no damage that I can hear.

I bought a cleaner vinyl pro and love it. I have a vacuum system and the US system cleans what the vacuum system can't. Believe it or not my records sound better now, they must have had a lot of crud that I missed.
