Who Uses KIRMUSS Restoration System?

I met Charles Kirmuss recently at the NY Audio Show, Michael Fremer calls him a Propeller Head, I found him convincing,

WHO has/uses his system?

One option is to simply buy and use his spray to change the polarity of my solution while manually scrubbing

another is to buy Upscale’s package for $1,199, the revised slots let you clean 3 12" LPs, 1 7", no 10" slot for 78’s, (default design is 2-12, 1=10", 1-7")" and the price matches the discounted ’show’ price

@kb54, @lewm Oops! I think you got my point, thanks for the heads up though.

Too much trouble! I've never wanted to be cleaning records as a hobby ...

For the most part, I agree completely. That's why I have a Klaudio US cleaner. Just push one button and the machine does all the rest - except for putting the LP in a clean sleeve.

Watched his demo at one of the CES....

Made a big difference but way way too much fuss is needed to replicate what I saw him do.

Ended up with a Double Matrix from CA.

Used a Kirmuss for a VERY short time, the 15+ steps are a joke! I'd rather wash my car that takes less time than cleaning records with this system.

I’m also thinking about HumminGuru for essentially clean LPs, or a final clean after a manual scrub of a dirty one. $490. delivered, already in usa so no import tarriff. I really like it's small size, easy for me to keep on bottom shelf of my audio rack.

A separate decision, for my manual scrub, his positively charged cleaning fluid? 10oz, $95.

Who’s happy with HumminGuru?

Who thinks positive charge of cleaning fluid would make any difference?
