Clear audio professional or klaudio record cleaner

W2,

Thanks, I checked it out seems like a pretty good deal. They have 2 models one appears to be a knock off of the AudioDesk, although I'm sure German manufacturing far surpasses Chinese manufacturing but at $ 888 its about 1/4 of the AudioDesk. It appears to have universal voltage as well.

The other model seems a little more original RW-800 but is only available in 230V - however no biggie as a small step-up transformer is easy to source

They appear to be marketed under the same brand as the excellent Hanss Turntables.

Good Listening

Thanks to all for your contributions!
Think that, although Chinese unit appears to be well built,with no distributor in USA one problem or part needed would entail a long "adventure"!...:-)

And you'll want to find out the kHz of the Ultrasonics from the manufacturer. Makes a big difference according to threads on DIY Audio.

I too am interested in buying one. I am not counting on a step-up transformer
though. It would be nice if it works but I'm OK with it running off my dryer or
hot water circuit. I suggest a back-up plan if the transformer doesn't work out.
A google search of the suitability of those transformers suggests they may not
work in many applications. You can't just boost the voltage, there needs to be
120V applied to each leg of the circuit for many appliances to run properly.

"You can't just boost the voltage, there needs to be
120V applied to each leg of the circuit for many appliances to run properly."

Above statement is not correct and I'd strongly encourage you to use a step up transformer, and not connect the unit to your household 220V two phase circuit.

The units, if made to be operated Europe and Asia which have 220 to 240V AC voltage relative to Neutral. If made to operate in the Americas where the nominal household voltage is 110-120V relative to Neutral they will have a different mains power input circuitry (transformer or similar).

This device is vastly different form a Water Heater, AC unit or an Electrical dryer for examples which are designed to run on two phase 220V, the Record Cleaners are not, and again, I'd strongly encourage you to use a step-up transformer should you decide to order one up.

Im sure Jim (Jea48) will chime in on this one if he sees this tread

200W Step up transformer

Above link to a suitable step up transformer, I assume that 200W is enough, I tried to look for the power consumption of the Amari RW800 but could to find any info on it.

If yo go with the RW600, the AudioDesk knock off, it operates on universal voltage, 100V to 240V so no additional hardware is needed for this one.

I'll update with information when mine, RW800, arrives next week some time.

Good Listening
