“Does a great job but it’s not just putting a record in a machine. Lotta work, but it does a great job. I have to put a half a day or entire evening to clean records, this is due to not being able to leave solutions in overnight.”

“Compared to what iSonic offers directly, the Upscale Audio version allowing individual record insertion and withdrawl makes possible a processing sequence that vastly speeds up everything, especially for records with varying aounts of contamination, dust, etc. The record transport mechanism is impressively robust, and easily repairable if necessary. And the recommended scrubbing process with surfectant combined with ultrasonic cleaning definitely works as advertised. Older RCA shaded dog's, Columbia 6-eyes, etc., emerge spectacularly clean with improved sonics, and are immenently playable at higher volumes without distraction from loud pops. It takes a while to cut through the fog of the instructions, but that has nothing to do with why one should purchase this. I think the Kirmuss, as modified by Upscale Audio, has found the sweet spot for ultrasonic record cleaners....”

“Great record cleaner, time consuming. I bought the cleaner to restore my inherited Big Band albums to possibly sell. To my surprise, the ones without scratches were crystal clear and dynamic. I've switched to cleaning my albums, I'll get back to the Big Band after cleaning my favorite albums.”

“Expensive, time-consuming, truly fussy--and very effective. Persistence is essential--if unsatisfied, try a few more cycles--but eventually I've ended up hugely impressed with almost every LP I've restored so far. The before and after difference can be jaw-dropping. And Charles Kirmuss is the best--he patiently answered all my questions and helped improve my technique. If you can set aside the occasional full day to restore records, this is the system for you.”

“Kirmuss is a very good vinyl cleaner. It takes more effort but after the initial full restoration, it seems to work better than my KL-Audio. Thanks, Kevin.”
