Ultrasonic Record Cleaners ???

Good news Mark. Maybe you'll like it so much that you'll clean the record when you go to flip it over. 😃

Steve, I think you are sounding a little paranoid about problems that don't really exist :exciting:

I have been buying records for over 30 years now and only got an RCM probably 15 years ago. All my records from 20 and 30 years ago are still perfect, after many hundreds of plays.

The number one preventative maintenance I have always used is to have every lp in a plastic/poly lined inner sleeve. This protects your precious vinyl from everything - Period.

Cheers

Yeah, you're probably right. I only use one new MoFI sleeve per record, as they go back in washed.

My paranoia stems from 2 small gifted collections that were fungal ridden. One was from a house in a rainforest up in the Dandenong ranges. The other was from my ex wife! Both were duly disposed of.
 
yes mark please let us know. im borrowing an audio desk for a couple weeks to try. i got to be honest and say i cut it out of the box brand new yesterday at the show and though it was very cheap feeling for a $3000 machine. but ill know better after i get it here and try it next week. so id be curious to your experiences with the klaudio. its about time i stepped up from the spin clean.lol.
congrats !!!!

With US RCM you probably could have cleaned them up.

Its a lot better to be obsessive about caring about vinyl than not, so all good.

What were "both were duly disposed of?" The two record collections or the second collection and your ex-wife? "Enquiring" minds want to know. :-)

Ha! When the new lady came along, she inquired about the mound of dirt in the backyard. The mound looked like a grave. I told her "not to worry because 'she' is long gone, already a skeleton. Jack (my dog) dug part of an arm out, I'm always chucking dirt over it, the little digger he is....". :wacko:

Out of 700, I saved approx. 100 after excluding most from a first round cleaning attempt. I have yet to play approx. 30. Vinyl condition EX or better after Audiodesk washes. Most sleeves are VG+ or better. New inner sleeves & poly/jap covers. I did my best to hang onto 60s vintage & not surprisingly the older heavy vinyl faired much better.
 
Hi,

Just want to tell my experience with Audiodesk (not PRO). I wouldn't buy one again! The pump on mine broke down just 1 month after guarantee coverage finished and about 500 records cleaned. Luckily one might think, my version enabled a pump replacement as some earlier versions for some reason didn't. Instead of Audiodesk playing along with some goodwill, fully aware that plenty units have had problems, I was charged the healthy sum of 700 USD for the repair! Next time this unit will break down it will be scrapped and another non-Audiodesk unit will be looked for. Any suggestions?
It cleans ok, but even new pressings need sometimes 2 runs to be cleaned.

Not overly happy/Mike
