It's widely accepted that ultrasonic cleaners are the best for records. The tiny bubbles get into the very smallest grooves and dislodge so much of the accumulated muck on old records, and the grease etc of new purchases.This machine, for the money, is a steal. Really easy to set up, add deionised water and some detergent (I used 1 in 10 pink octopus and a splash of isopropyl alcohol) and away you go.The difference in audio quality following a 15 minute clean / 15 minute air dry is phenomenal. It removes a lot of the surface noise (not all, it isn't Jesus), but really seems to open the record up. The sound seems wider and fuller.Forget the brush cleaners, this is non obtrusive way to clean your vinyl for a fraction of the price of a name item. I did purchase the 3-12v power adaptor mentioned below, which enables me to turn the rpm down to 2 at 3v, but it cost me £9.If you are in the market for a record cleaner, buy one of these before they cotton on and double the price!
