    I have an okki nokki, not bad at all ..
    actually it does quite a remarkable job ...

    the only issue I had was the liquid sensor (disconnect it) ..

    I read somehwhere that new o.n's dont have that sensor anymore due to lot of problems

    **btw in case someone has a o.n. with the sesnor
    I have mailed o.n about it and they said that its ok to disconnect it and they send me instructions on how to do it [if anyone wants I can mail him their answer]
    also DhtRob has a nice tutorial on how you can do it

    I thought there had been some design issues with the Project that had been discussed on this forum previously - I would check if those have been sorted out before buying...

    There isn't anything wrong as such with the Pro-Ject. The early versions (first batch) had the vac armtube made of metal and also the socket it sits in made of the same metal - causing some to get stuck as some users didn't grease them up. Pro-Ject supplied new instructions and a pack of grease for the 2nd batch (which I have). I've had no issues at all with this.

    I believe it now comes with a plastic socket that the arm sits in - so no metal to metal contact anymore.

    The other small thing is the foam/pad on the clamps, they can soak up the solution and it can end up on the labels (which it should be protecting). Not sure if they changed this at all but it's not a huge issue if you don't get lots of solution right next to it. I removed them and used some thin o-ring material instead which is perfect.

    Other than the silent running I assume it does a better job of cleaning than the Moth and Okki Nokki ?
    So therefore condones it's high price.

    It cant do a better job than a perfect job. Lol. My moth does, imo, a perfect job. Its only down side is it is noisy. Fluid is not expensive after the initial first buy tbh. Noise can be averted by earbuds. It goes both ways but you have to turn the record twice. Use an old cd to protect label from any accidental splashes. Unless you are doing it all the time its as good as it gets without spending more on it than your actual system

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I'm very please with my pro-ject machine, very effective in reducing pops and clicks. Static doesn't seem to be a problem even several months after cleaning a record.
