Humminguru Nova

I’ve assembled more or less a decent analog front end. I have a few hundred records in my collection that consists of new and old vinyl - mostly mint or near mint. Now I have been buying new vinyl recently. I use Knosti Disco Antistat to wash records - one for wash, one for rinse. The records air dry. 
 

Would a Nova be a significant step up from the Knosti? Would it be effective with new vinyl? Any reason I shouldn’t get it?

@audphile1 Yes you have got a good plan for dirty records, Knosti first, then HumminGuru.  I am sure you will be pleased.

Thank you all. 
I ordered it. I’ll start reading up on solutions that can be used with it. If anyone has any tips I’d like to read about your experience.

“I think the manual step with Knosti might still be beneficial for really dirty old records…not sure. Will have to test it and see.”

@audphile1 

For really dirty records, run them through Nova twice. I don’t use any solution in my Degritter, distilled water and ‘timed’ cleaning cycle is all it takes. I am hoping @arafiq chimes in to share his direct experience with Nova.
