Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers?

Howdy,

Reaching out to other Audio Desk owners here. I am wondering how often do change the rollers, filter and the fluid. Do you go by the pamphlets  or play by ear (no pun intended). I waited for about 150 records before changing the fluid and filter and the fluid was SUPER nasty. I think I will do 100 records now but of course, it depends on how dirty the records are to begin with.

Also, the pamphlet says "not to leave the fluid in the machine for long", which is completely subjective. If you have to drain the system every week (which by the way, is no simple task for a single person) how long do you have to wait to put it back?

@theo : "In relation of the cost of the machine versus my record collection it’s a small investment change every hundred"

Agreed. I was testing the waters so to speak. Now that I know how dirty it gets with 150, I will do 100 and change fluid and inspect how the rollers and filters look.

@seasoned "I do not use the drying cycle for that reason; instead I shut the machine off once the cavitation is finished, then rinse the record in a Spin Clean, then dry with a vacuum machine"

Very interesting and it makes total sense to me. I will have to try your method for sure!
