I have my Okki Nokki, but I need to finally do something about getting all my Vinyl cleaned with an Ultrasonic cleaner and the time has come. Dare say I might have to buy one of these Humminguru, and give it a go. Sam, I've been using one for many years. Happy to give some advice on how I do it and with what machine. What process and fluids etc.. I too have a Okki Nokki RCM and use it in concert with the US machine for big clean days. 70% of the time the RCM suffices. In case it's not apparent, the US isn't what I use to clean just 1 record or album. But other machines like the Humminguru may be more suitable to that approach. Check the US freq on the machine and then on some others - it will give you an indication on how powerful it is as a US cleaner. Edited December 12, 2023 by scuzzii 1

We cleaned a stack of new LP's and it works very well, also cleaned some older ones that were a bit noisy and it's definitely made a difference. 1
Dolphy Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 (edited) I bought a Humminguru this week, I cleaned six new LPs today, only used distilled water. I've ordered photo flo and I'll do another batch on coming weeks. With water alone, I was impressed with the outcome. Apart from getting a good clean, the records have no static at all. I'll use my Okki Nokki in conjunction with the HG when I need to clean second hand records. I'll report back with the results. Edited December 1, 2024 by Dolphy Typo

kffern Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) I have just started using the Hummingbird US cleaning fluid in my ebay US cleaner and the improvement over Ilfotol - alcohol is huge. I will never go back. Worth the $50. At about 3 drops per litre it goes a long way. Edit * I wash the record with distilled water afterwards as it seems to have a bit of a bright sheen to the sound. I might have added too much cleaner though. Edited December 26, 2024 by kffern 1
