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.

@dogberry Makes sense!

How do you handle the complete drying of the record. Seems that you're getting into 30 minute territory per record?

@vinylshadow

 

When using the ultrasonic the record never touches anything but the poly sleeve you put it in after it’s dry 

If you’re concerned about drying time it takes my records about 15 minutes to dry completely.  If you want the record cleaned and dried fast the AudioDesk all in one is your answer but it’s big money 

sell everything you have and get an unreasoning and a record stack or some other roterserie 

Good luck

@vinylshadow I'm content to let the Degritter blow dry the disk. Static isn't an issue as I use a Furutech Destat III before playing.

Correction:

 that cannot be too slow (less than about 1-rpm)

Change to read:  "...that can be too slow (less than about 0.5-rpm)..."

FWIW:  Record speed and be too fast depending on the tank size and number of records clean at one time and if the tank is filtered.

@dogberry Dang. That thing looks like a Roomba for records!

Do you use that after every record cleaning? Or in between? Or both. 

Ever see that DS Audio Ionizer? It shoots ozone out over records. $1700. Crazy.
