If you use any surfactant/detergent or anything other than distilled water in your ultrasonic bath, it will require a rinse step.

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?

@ljgerens that would make sense. But they claim they small bottle is a one step deal. Using just distilled water requires longer dry cycle so the small bottle is a drying agent. I don’t care what it is, it can’t be used as it leaves a layer on the grooves that impacts sound quality. |
“Can’t beat the convenience factor of the US machine” Exactly! I believe you will appreciate the convenience more as your collection grows. For extra dirty records, run a longer cycle or ran them through Nova twice. All you need is distilled water and new records to keep the cleaning regime going! |
