The Cyclone system vacuums in both directions giving even better cleaning and is still much faster than an ultrasonic machine. We have compared the ultrasonic machines (we have a $4000.00 one) to the Cyclone and can only say you should compare before spending the money. I'm cheap, to me it would be wiser to spend the extra money on new records that need minor cleanups occasionally which the 16.5 will do with speed and perfectly.
BTW, Myles Astor showed electron microscope shots of the grooves after being cleaned by his 16.5, if there is no dirt in the grooves exactly what is the ultrasonic doing to change the sound????????? And it does change the sound in profound ways and not always for the better. Are we really getting the dirt out of the liquid fast enough or is it being plated back on or in some ways burnishing the sharp ridges in the grooves??? We need more data on this before telling everyone that it is perfect, I remember that phrase for CD!!
