Gulp!I guess if you are REALLY against doing any DIY and the expense is painless relative to your income...OK. But there are many much cheaper solutions out there that are getting good write-ups. There's a whole thread on audiokarma. You essentially buy the parts separately to make the machine.
I'm about to pull the trigger on it myself. Total cost is under $500 (some enterprising individuals do it for much less) if you don't do any real DIY.
Not knocking it... just saying to really do some research on options. If I felt I had to Spin Clean or anything else after (or before) using a 1500 machine, I would be very upset.
And as far as any ultrasonic "removing" or affecting high frequencies... proof proof proof please. Microscopic proof of changes in the grooves after cleaning. Electronic signature proof. Something besides.. "That's what they say."

MannyE, which brand and model machine are you using for you diy project?
Thanks,
David
Not 100% on the actual cleaner tub yet. I'm waiting to see how the AKers who are just now building and using them report back. AT this point there are a few already enjoying the benefits and posting good reviews but there have been some failures of the actual cleaning tub.
Apparently after about 1000 LPs cleaned someone's tub died, but I'm going from memory here so I don't have any specifics (or I could be completely wrong). The rotating part is the Vinyl Stack Ultra Sonic Spin Kit, which used to be on ebay for 200ish dollars but I can't find it now. They have a youtube video with an email.
All in with a 10L ultrasonic tub (8 LPs at once) I think it should cost just around 500 bucks. Which isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but if it give the results everyone is so excited about, then it may well be worth it.
Thanks for the reply. I think the Ultrasonicrecords' machine uses this:

It goes for $420 but is on sale for $380 for the next 21 hours. Free shipping too! Is this the one?
Regards,
David
"Something besides.. 'That's what they say.'"
I guess it's all about who "they" is!
the freaking Kings of Siam. Without some visible proof of damage it's just a story. Like Bigfoot.
