I use vinylstoragesolutions.ca HDPE inner sleeves,
We Vinyl Ultrasonic or Vacuum Cleaner?
I have been working at rebuilding my Windham Hill collection. Many times I can find sealed copies versus used. My preference is for sealed if the price is sane.
The question is with new copies, is there any advantage of running them through a CleanerVinyl 132kHz ultrasonic tank versus my OkkiNokki vacuum cleaner?
Any thoughts on the subject are appreciated.

The HG is actually deceptively powerful because the tank volume is very small - 400 ml (the record spins very close to the transducers) vs the DG 1400-ml and the HG is 40-kHz while the DG is 120-kHz, and as the kHz increases, the power necessary for cavitation increases. However, the HG has two 30W transducers (one on either side) while DG the four75W transducers (two on either side) which gets better coverage of the record. |
@dogearedaudio if looking at the HumminGuru you can still get the original model, but the upgraded Nova adds some additional features that caused me to stretch for that model, including a different set of transducers that sweeps the frequency for better cleaning. It has done very very well for me, I think it performs better than the larger tank style that others talk about (and that style was not bad). |
