Ultrasonic Record Cleaner +++ New Model V-8 Clean

These units will fly off the shelf when the price point becomes $2,000. At most, there is $500 in materials in the Klaudio unit. I am sure Harry is currently working on a similar unit that with his distribution and marketing power will aid Klaudio in making a price reduction. So, wait while.

The diyaudio.com thread on ultrasonic machines suggests that these machines involve more than $500 in parts. And this "parts cost" calculation is always problematic since it fails to take into account so much, including rent, engineering, design, prototyping, salaries, shipping, etc.

That said, yes I think ultrasonic cleaners with the features of this or the Audio Desk would sell like hotcakes at a $2000 or below price point.

Etnier and Mjm_analog,

Thanks for those links. This looks much like an ultrasonic RCM that John Chapman of BentAudio was beta testing 9-10 years ago. I *almost* got one, but John had to drop the project to focus on other concerns.

BentAudio never brought theirs to market. It's good to see someone picked up the concept and is trying to make it viable. Very tempting, especially at that price.
