Humminguru record cleaner

Almost all of my records are in NM condition, so I didn’t think I needed a record cleaner to replace my VPI 16.5. Also, my record surfaces are virtually silent.. But I was intrigued by the ultrasonic cleaners out there. So I bought one with the probability of a return. The results are amazing. This device cleans the records so well it’s like adding a new component to my system. And it’s only $500. With my already clean records I didn’t need the Degritter which is several times more expensive.

I recommend it highly.

Still using VPI, if that’s important.  Until someone proves to my satisfaction that repeated ultrasonic cleaning does not damage the high frequencies encoded on an LP, I will stick with a conventional RCM, like the VPI.

@dogberry Ahh. Thank you....So a final ultrasonic wash after your Loricraft. Interesting

Have you noticed noise after cleaning with the Loricraft? And that is eliminated after the Degritter? 

Cleaning 1 record must take about 20 minutes using both methods?

My records are not by any means “filthy” and, it’s not my imagination, the SQ is palpably better after cleaning with the Humminguru.

@lewm Wow. I never would have even thought that a possibility. 

Has there been any studies?
