So maybe your US RCM is superior to the one I used for my little comparison. My VPI certainly removes a lot of gunk based on looking at the effluent from its waste tank.
Ultrasonic record cleaners
I have a modest lp collection, mixed bag of original college age purchases, used records before the current renewed interest, and some newer albums to replace some older issues from the p mount needle days. Have a vpi 16 machine and audio intelligent form 6 fluid. I’m not finding a significant improvement on my noisier issues. The price of ultrasonic cleaners have come down to a price I would consider. Appreciate the experiences of those who have purchased the ultrasonic machines, are they superior to my vpi and are the less expensive models effective?
TIA

@lewm That's my experience too. |
I'm a cheapskate so after over 30 years of using only a Discwasher brush I moved up to a Spin Clean record washer costing only $65.00 . But I have been curious about UV cleaners so I began sending records to a cleaning service that would double clean a record once in the AD unit and then in a now discontinued unit from Korea . I've done this for years sending in 10 to 15 records at a time , sometimes the results were amazing and sometimes no difference at all . Will I buy one , maybe I'll try the CleanerVinyl Easy3 or if I win the lottery I'll buy the Degritter . Good Luck on making a decision .

@whart Nice to see you posting on this ! You and Neil have done a real service to the community. That's where I learned to finish with a distilled spritz, and to do an anti-static wipe with Tigercloth. Thanks! And all the best! |
