Watch analogplanet.com editor Michael Fremer try cleanervinyl.com's cavitation based record cleaning system using an "off-the-self" cavitation vat and cleaner vinyl.com's One or Pro system plus optional Dry attachment. The One cleans either one or two records at a time, which is just okay. For a little more money you can clean a dozen records at a time and then dry them. The entire process takes around an hour (unattended for most of that time) and costs a bit more than $600, or around the same as a vacuum cleaning machine that's not nearly as thorough. You need to start with a PS-30A ultrasonic bath, which you buy on Ebay, or for $169 as part of a package assembled by www.cleanervinyl.com. The prices are: $189 for the single record cleaner system, $389 for the up to twelve records system (recommended) plus the optional Dry fan system $129. So the cost complete including the PS-30A Ultrasonic cleaner and 12 LP cleaning system is $687-about the same price as a well-featured vacuum based machine. Go to cleanervinyl.com for more information and/or to order. NOTE: My friend who shot the video and whose records we cleaned brought a few back. We played them, then cleaned again on the Audio Desk and played again. The background quiet was greatly improved, with after the Audio Desk cleaning and there were fewer pops and clicks, some of which we thought were from scratches in the record but were not. On the plus side for the Cleanervinyl system: the stylus didn't pick up any dirt upon the first play, which means the Cleanervinyl system does a relatively good job of cleaning. It just doesn't go as "deep" as the Audio Desk. Cleaner vinyl responded saying a second cleaning with his system would produce similar results but it wasn't possible to test that.
