Best Of

I don't know about you Tom, but after reading all 3 pages of comments here, I'm pretty sure I now know less.

After a considerable amount of research, I ordered a Degritter from Music Direct yesterday morning. Arrived via UPS today about 12:30. Dang, I know I'm only a couple hours away from them, but that's some quick-asp service!

This Bob James Trio 180G "hi-res audiophile" double LP that I picked up brand new at AXPONA in April was really giving me some fits on side 3 with a LOT of static and pops, so it was the perfect one to try it out on, first. Holy S--- is about all I can say! The before and after difference from just one "medium" cycle was pretty remarkable. We'll see what happens on subsequent records ...

I was between this and the Kirmuss Audio ultrasonic unit which is a fraction of the price of the Degritter, but the one-touch, set it and forget it aspect of the Degritter won out versus the labor-intensive Kirmuss process. Also saw some comments on here from people I trust that gave me pause on the Kirmuss machine.

I have a decent LP collection from my younger days and would like to accumulate more new and used records as the urge strikes. Looking forward to getting the most out of my existing collection and hoping this will encourage some additional vinyl purchases!
