Whart-what i found was the intensity was not uniform. Later on, when my AD fails, I'll have that portion to mate with an US cleaner/spinner. I can see how I can convert my AD cleaner to include your filter/pump. (To put an US cleaned lp through a vacuum drying, seems somewhat counter-productive. This is why I'll always keep steaming in my personal regimen.) I put it through my AI/steaming regimen, then through a 5 minute AD cleaning. just today, I was playing a lp that I had previously cleaned without steaming years ago and ran in through the AD. ( A valid point to my steaming first, even though I have an AD cleaner.

Also, one of the positive effects of US cleaning is that the cleaned lp, has no static charge. My regimen is labor intensive but I'm OK with that. Steaming does, by it's very nature, introduce the heat that you say is best for good cleaning. (I use the enzymatic Audio Intelligent solution as a pre-cleaning agent before I steam.) This allows me to keep the water in my AD cleaner, longer. I am still a proponent of steaming as the first step in my own regimen. I'm sure that mine will fail at some point. The Audio Desk is more mechanical in nature. Wondering if you've have ever used the Audio Desk? If so, how does the end result compare between the two methods? I look forward to some further discussion and sharing of experiences. Please read that essay, and then come back here to Audiogon with comments and to share your experiences: I’d thought of posting here on Audiogon the summary of what I’ve learned and am now applying as my new record cleaning regimen, but the inability to post images and to apply formatting here caused me to send my summary to David Robinson at Positive Feedback who has graciously published my comments as a guest essay. And these results have far exceeded my expectations. What I’ve learned, and now apply in my new ultrasonic cleaning regimen, are multiple elements to the cleaning process that must be used in combination to achieve the best possible results. What I heard did not approach the excellence I was achieving with my multi-step wet/vac cleaning regimen. My past experiences with ultrasonic cleaning demonstrations were completely underwhelming.

My goals were to FIRST do no harm and then SECOND see how close I could get to the results of my manual cleaning regimen. In exploring ultrasonic cleaning, my hope was to find that I could complete multiple LPs in a single US cleaning cycle and greatly speed up my rate of cleaning records. That manual process got the best results I’ve ever found, but I was not keeping up with my collection and it is just painful to me to play a record that I’ve not cleaned. With over 6000 LPs, I needed a faster way to clean than my trusted multi-step manual wet/vac cleaning process. Over the past several months I’ve invested a fair amount of time exploring ultrasonic cleaning because I’ve fallen way too far behind in my record cleaning.
