I’m not sure if they are selling this in Europe or not, but the price is rather attractive. And they even have financing! That’s a new one.

They were at the Cranage show.

Looks interesting but I don’t like the fact that there is no dryer. You have to dry by hand, which will always leave the possibility that muck and grit can still remain in the bottom of the groove.

No problem. I set the records to rest in a dish stand. They dry out in short time. Approx 15 minutes, before i dry out the little water-rest on the bottom end of the record.

It seems to me that many people who would buy an ultrasonic record cleaning machine may already own a vacuum RCM. So, using them together, vacuum them after an ultrasonic wash, would yield the best results. But the makers of these ultrasonic machines seem to think that rack drying is all that is required. If it works, it works! And won’t introduce static either.

Hmm, rather pricey for a machinery that looks like some 'Apple' fax, scan & copy combo office device... That is not relevant to it's achievement though. But I'd have prefer to have it complete with an incorporated vacuum for that price if ever I'd consider to buy such a device.

Still for me the most crucial factor that is missing on those device too often, an adjustable frequency modulator that should be able to go up to 60 kHz for a "deeper" clean when and where it's most needed; in the high frequencies where dirt on it's own can induce distortion.

That machine is from Kirmuss Audio. They have a UK distributor who as Simon says was at the NWAS (I can't recall their details but they were in the SW of England. The machine is available from http://snvinyl.co.uk/KirmussAudio-Model-KA-RC-1-Ultrasonic-Vinyl-Restoration-System and probably other places too.
