Thanks everybody. VPI gets a solid recommendation. I see one problem: when I take record out of ultrasonic, it is wet on both sides. The VPI has a platter that supports the entire record (12") not just the label. So the platter will get wet every time I put a new record on.
Or is it possible to get a label-size platter? @joenies How do you deal with that as you also do Ultrasonic followed by vacuum?
Re noise, yes, it is a vacuum cleaner. Well understood. What I am experiencing with the PJ is well beyond a vacuum cleaner.
The Loricraft is a bit over the top, IMHO. The point suction arm is of no concern to me after ultrasonic cleaning. And price is also a bit steep.
