Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning


My Cleaner Vinyl ultrasonic record cleaner arrived today and it’s impressive.

Everything I’d read indicated that ultrasonic was the way to go, and now I count myself among the believers. Everything is better - records are quieter, less ticks and pops, more detail etc.

All my records had been previously cleaned with a vacuum record cleaner and were well cared for. Nonetheless, the difference is obvious and overwhelmingly positive.

Ooh slaw, the MFSL A Salty Dog! One of my long-time favorite albums, I have owned the British Regal Zonophone pressing from the time of the album's release. How does the MF sound? Have you heard a Regal Zonophone for comparison? Great sounding album!

The VERY interesting Degritter brand Ultrasonic cleaner is scheduled to become available in January 2019, at what retail price I don’t know (last I heard, a little over $2,000). It operates at 120kHz, for reasons explained on the company’s website.

Whart is correct; the higher the frequency, the smaller the size of the bubbles, and the less powerful (put another way, the more gentle).
