Hi All, Don't want to start another record cleaning thread, spent the last hour wading through all the different opinions on here. Just want to know has anyone had any experience with the PHK RCM http://www.maquinaphk.xpg.com.br/models.html Seems to be the cheapest on the market, anything else out there in this price range? I am considering the DIY route. Website is abit dodgy, based in Brazil, have to order through a hotmail address etc. Thanks

It seems that the Chinese company trading as "Amari Acoustics" has been busy. Here is an ultrasonic RCM available in China at the moment. They also do an Audiodesk clone but I think it is only a matter of time before this particular one is "badge engineered" and sold more broadly around the world. Price is around $1600 USD in China. Amari make a range of decent turntables sold as "Hannss Acoustics" in the West. They also make this RCM - which seems to be an improvement on the VPI /Nitty Gritty style of product and is sold under a number of brands.

I think its time to replace the brush I got with my KAB EV-1 RCM, which is a velvet pad type. So from experiences, what are the better types of brushes to use with RCM? The velvet/microfiber type brushes like Disc Doctor, or the bristle type brushes like Osage or VPI?

Preferably with Furutech update. Thanks.

Item: DIY record cleaning machine project Location:Marrickville / Enmore, Sydney Price: $70 OnO! Item Condition: well it's a project, either buy the parts or take the whole thing, (just moved it to the shed as the Mrs hit the roof at me buying yet another RCM) Reason for selling: bought a Kiwi Record cleaning machine at last, lazy, this one has no motor, purely manual, could attach one but never did.. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Extra Info: just want it gone, too many RCM's, buy it before I rip the VPi parts out (hardly used, no noticeable wear) and dump the stand, unsure whether to keep platter, motor housing (just using as a manual spindle, not strong enough to keep spinning while vacuum is running) included is just the table itself, not the cool Damned picture disc, not the weight/clamp, (you will need something to help spin the table, hockey puck's are popular with these manual machines, or make something..similar) or the vacuum cleaner, can tell you my secret recipe for fluid but it's the same that others use.. (sorry for the delay in posting the pictures) Pictures:

Would also consider Okki Nokki depending on asking price
