ultrasonic record cleaner


Any information on the low cost Ultrasonic cleaner (about 1500). I continue to use my own RCM but looking for a quiet, effective machine without spending the bucks for the Keith Monks machine.

Loricraft is quiet and extremely effective and not nearly as expensive as the Monks. But it is slow depending on the fluids and it is not an Ultrasonic cleaner.
Buconero, Who proved that Ultrasonic is better than Loricraft or Keith Monks?
Could you provide a link to a review or comparison?

I agree it is far more convenient, but does it clean better? In my experience
the Audio Desk is not better than my Loricraft PRC4 Delux with AIVS
solutions. I only did a couple of brief comparisons, but I prefer my Loricraft
and fully admit it is a PITA to use.

After using the Audio Desk, I noticed a slight veil over the music and on one
LP, there was a noticeable increase in surface/crackling noise. It sounded a
bit dry and less emotional. Seemed to add detail, but on further listening, I
preferred the Lori as the music sounded slightly more natural. I think if I were
to use the Audio Desk, it would be essential to have another machine for a
final rinse with ultra pure water to remove any residue.

I'm sure others have different experiences and prefer an ultrasonic cleaner for
the results and much better convenience.
