    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    It looks like you're in the UK, so different prices than here in the USA.. Audio Desk machines are around $3,500 USD here (USA retail is $4,450 I think, so much higher than Euro/UK prices) and Klaudio machines are $4,800 USD retail here (for the reservoir version) and I've seen the same priced...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    I'll take the :) to mean that you ARE happy about being a tester! Right? Can't wait to read about your results with the Degritter, I think their choice of 120khz is interesting.. What other ultrasonic record cleaning machines are you comparing it to, Audio Desk, Klaudio, tank based set-up?

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    That's going to be interesting for a lot of people, if you're talking about the new Degritter machine, the 120khz one that's being produced by a group of young guys in Estonia.. I also wanted to be a beta-tester for them, and get a discounted machine, but they were only accepting European...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    It just gives you more accurate information about how dirty your records are (or were) since there is no information from the manufacturer about when to change the fluid, except they say "after 100 dirty records" or "200 cleaner ones" which is incredibly vague.. Using a TDS meter gives you a...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    Honestly. despite the problems I've had with Audio Desk machines (failed record rotation, failed pump, failed transducer etc) I'm still using them because I'm getting my best results when cleaning first with an Audio Desk, and then doing a second cleaning with a Klaudio.. I call it...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    No real problems with drying on the Klaudio cleaners, except that the versions I have now (with loading slot light and cooling radiator/fan) will occasionally blow water droplets up onto the edges of the slot, which wasn't a problem with the original version.. Those droplets can be big enough to...

    Problem(s) with new Klaudio LP200S ultrasonic cleaner - Any other owners?

    Hi Paul, Yes, later versions of the Klaudio with reservoir and a cooling loop (radiator on back) have been more reliable than the Audio Desk machines, my Klaudio machines are from 2014 and have been great. I have two of each manufacturer's machines, and use them all heavily.. Klaudio has made...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    I missed that bit! :) I'm not sure Klaudio machines need a heater, as 200w of ultrasonic power puts plenty of heat into the water and keeps the cooling loop busy (radiator on the back of later models) and you can just start off with pre-heated water to get the same result, but I am interested...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    Hi beaur, that's great that you've got access to lab-grade water, as really pure water is a great natural solvent to dissolve dirt and contaminants! I used to buy NERL lab water in 5-gallon "cubitainers" but given the cost (and shipping) I now have RO/DI filtering equipment at home, to make...

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    That's good stuff Barry, and not surprising coming from Bill Hart's website - We've chatted before, and he's just as obsessed with getting the best record cleaning results as I am! :)

    Klaudio Record Cleaning Machine Review

    A few questions for all my fellow Klaudio owners/users: How often do you change your water? What kind of water do you use? Do you use a TDS Meter (Total Dissolved Solids) to check water quality? How do you clean the reservoir/tank in your Klaudio? Do you pay attention to water...

    Problem(s) with new Klaudio LP200S ultrasonic cleaner - Any other owners?

    Hi Bobvin, I do believe you're correct, the problems I had were with the drain solenoid that allows the "wash basin" to empty, or with the programming of it.. See my other reply.. Best regards, Dave

    Problem(s) with new Klaudio LP200S ultrasonic cleaner - Any other owners?

    Hi WntrMute2, I don't think you can buy a Klaudio's LP200S machine right now (December 2017) since they apparently pulled it from the market in August/September.. Tim at Klaudio told me that it's been made "Click to Notify" on the Klaudio website while their engineers work on solving...

    Problem(s) with new Klaudio LP200S ultrasonic cleaner - Any other owners?

    Long time reader and first time poster, I run the ultrasonic record cleaning service Record Genie in the USA, and hope to get some Klaudio help! I'm always looking to improve my ultrasonic record cleaning results, so I've just bought a new Klaudio machine. It's their "S" version LP200S that...
