No one has an opinion on RCM's?
I believe you need or should be trying for a high frequency transducer if going that way, and unfortunately they cost a lot. Its all about bubble size
But are they any better than the usual method?

who knows; depends on who you talk to, but for extra cost i would say no. maybe quieter tho and cleaner if they dry them too. a moth bi directional cleans very well so it hard to imagine it getting much cleaner
You can make your own for a few hundred quid. Why pay audioPHOOL prices for a glorified instrument cleaner?
There is some concern that damage can occur to the vinyl due to cavitation. One recent ex-Member, who had done some research into record cleaning, was quite adamant ultrasonic RCM were bad for the health of your records.
I might be a good idea to learn if any professional record archivists use them.
I have tried an ultrasonic cleaner and didn't find it any more effective than a Moth and therefore not good value IMO. Furthermore, I have used a Moth for 30 years and know it is perfectly safe.
Sounds good... 'Ultrasonic'. Great marketing. :)
Not sure how it can be bad for records unless the surfactant somehow reacts to the ultrasonic thus damaging the record?
