KLaudio or Degritter Mark II

Not terribly helpful in answering your question, but I have no complaints about my combination of a Loricraft followed by a Degritter MkI. It is entirely possible that other things will be better still, but if records come out of my two machines silent, how can we tell?

Maybe what would be helpful is this datum: I have never relied on the Degritter alone. I don't want to contaminate the tank of water it re-uses, so I remove all gross nastiness with the Loricraft. I do use a home-made mixture of ethanol, PhotoFlo and distilled water in the Loricraft. Then pure DW in the Degritter. You could rephrase your enquiry for those that use a Degritter alone. If I didn't already own the Loricraft, I'd answer that on behalf of a MkI.

@dogberry in the old days, when Christ was a Corporal, I incorporated Kodak Photo-Flo in my manual cleaning process of a bunch of my records. I don't think it did any harm. However, after reading Neil Antin's "Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records (all 3 editions), I switched to Tergitol.

Not easy reading, by any means. However, in my humble opinion, worth the time:

Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition - The Vinyl Press

Yes, I have it downloaded already.

I have the Klaudio and I always use a few drops of surfactant in my water tank. I like the separate tank on the Klaudio. The results are incredible. I have a lot of albums that were cleaned with an older spin unit that used a brush. They get cleaned again on the Klaudio. Yes the Klaudio is expensive but the convenience of just slipping the album in the machine and it comes out clean is hard to beat.

That is indeed the charm of the Klaudio machine. It's a one-button process for record cleaning and it works exceptionally well.
