Great interview. Thanks to Mr Cheon for his expertise in the interview. I did not know that some ultrasonic cleaners propel from the bottom and not perpendicular to the lp. That seems an essential element for the ultrasonic to do an efficient cleaning.
Thanks again!
They are copying the Degritter with the side mounted ultrasonic. Their older version was bottom mounted
Great interview? Seriously? The asian gentleman is all over the place and largely unintelligible. Moreover, if you're going to demo a premium product, then show us a premium result.
Watching a record spin around in that machine is not a demo. Basically you have to take their word that your records will sound better, rather than giving us some examples of how they sound before and after cleaning. With YT compression, we can't get an exact preview of what a clean record will sound like - but at minimum, can listen to a dirty record, run it in the Klaudio, and then give us a sample of what this sounds like afterwards.
Instead, we get a lot of puffery about how great this is, and how great the guy who built is, and so on. Now send us $6500 because it's the best. "You want the 'best' don't you?"
@@hardmoney8560 Must have watched a different video than I. Stop being a cheapskate. Buy one. Then get back with us on how it compares to your cleaning system and method
I have a Degritter. Works great. I honestly can’t hear the difference.
Does it remove pops and crackles? or just shinier record?
I've had one for about two weeks - my third US cleaner (Kirmuss and Degritter) and this is by far the best. I clean truly dirty records with my trusty vacuum machine and a good solution, then rinse and into the Klaudio. Removes more surface noise than anything else I've tried and also opens up the sound beautifully. The manual is a bit confusing - It tells you NOT to use distilled water and to use tap or drinking water. No way I'm cleaning my records in tap water. Fortunately distilled and pure works fine (it's the auto sensor that caused concern because pure water isn't conductive). Definitely very pricey but I don't know of any competition.
I have had this machine with the changer for two years now, worth every penny!
It’s too cheap.
@@CapitanHarlockisback If you have a ton of records to clean this is the only unit with the automatic changer. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Might not be for you because of dollars.
@@davidkipperman5218 The auto loader is another 4k. So 10k in total. For that price I can have a shop professionally cleaning two tons of records for me, including collection and delivery.
@@CapitanHarlockisback Go for it! To each his own.
@@davidkipperman5218 I mean you are right to each his own...but when you are talking about a $6k piece of equipment to clean something, shouldn't you spend that money elsewhere to enhance your system? I get that this is a very effective way of cleaning, but if you keep up on record cleaning often enough by other means, I would be spending that money on a better cartridge and phono stage well before I buy this US cleaner. I dont nec think you can deny the aspect of cost on this playing towards those who have the disposable income that will throw $$ at whatever item they can to which makes them think they are getting every dollar out of it, as obviously the hifi world is a high cost world. I just don't see that vs upgrading my equipment which for sure has more of an impact on sound output. Some of this stuff you have to admit in the back of your head the absurdity of the costs involved - for sure this is a very specific item for a small niche population so costs are wrapped up to recoup the R/D, but still.
thanks tim
The owner of The 'In' Groove has a couple of these and he charges around $8 to clean a record. Someone who owns a record shop where you sell used records would benefit from this machine.
I have had V1 for many years and it has worked flawlessly. It’s the 4th RCM I have owned and by far the most effective. Those who know me will tell you I think it’s my most significant piece of audio gear. I would like to get V2 because the water tank on V1 I’d difficult to clean,. IMO, the silencer is a must.
@@FredPutterman No. I didn’t think it was necessary for my purposes
Make it for the masses please.
I am so happy to see KLaudio back in the Ultrasonic business and who better to work with than Acoustic Sounds
I have owned the LP200 since 2014
it does wonders to new and old records
micro-details, tonality, static and pops
it is larger with the water tank.
I change the water all the time, 60 records, no issues
I have the silencer cover - it really knocks down the noise when cleaning
why are you guys holding the records between your fingers
you can easily place and remove the record with the palms of your hands on the sides or side of thumb / index finger on the label
Chad is right - a VG+ record can grade up
then he slips and says he can charge another $100 for a rare record
will you be getting in the 10" adapters? would the current version work on all KLaudio machines? thanks
Love mine
Have the older version, it's the best investment i've done very convenient works flawless,only use distilled water and a drop of Kodak Photo-Flo 200 or rinse aid to break the water tension
Hi Peter, Hi Chad, How do you physically clean the tank inside the LP200T ?
The older LP200 model had a large removable cap that could be removed to clean inside the tank with a stick to gain access into all edges and corners of the internal tank.
It appears this newer LP200T model doesn't have such a removable cap to clean the internal tank !
Also Peter, how come you didn't choose 120kHz ultrasonic frequency like the Degritter has ?
Great video. Recently received my Klaudio machine through Michael 45. In this video it is mentioned that you should/could use destilled water. The manuel specifically mentions NOT to use destilled water, but rather tab water or bottled drinking water. Which is true? Br, Claus
Dude's gig line is jacked up.
I’ll stick to my Spin-Clean Thanks 😊
fine for $80. Just be sure to never try a cavitation cleaning machine like this....
I agree on these Records cleaning machine they are too expensive they need to lower the price so people can afford it I'll stick with my spin clean washer.
Chad, would it be necessary to clean the records coming out of your own factory (brand new)?
Another Chad platitude in the making: Buy it now or dry later?
that's pretty funny.
What I've noticed is nobody cares about us 45 collectors they make it perfect for the 33 but when it comes to 45s some have adapters but they don't usually work too well they should make them fit 33's in 45 and 78
I want a 10” adapter
Why record companies release these odd ball formats is beyond me
👌
How is name pronounced - "KL Audio" or "Klaudio" (like in the video)?
Can we buy one and try out? These are a lot of money. I would spend the money if I can evaluate. Only want to buy one if I can have audible difference
you'd easily hear the improvement
Habibi, great video! Awesome job
Will you be in Detroit June? Let’s do dinner
We need to get together.
Awesome video! Talk with you soon
Does it maket make toast too?
I’m sure it’ll put the butter and jelly on for you! Hell for 6k it ought to clean your house🤣😂😆
I thought v.p.i. Machines Were costly!
Degritter 👍
Completely unrelated to this video but I'll say it anyway 😂 Please could you press the Santana albums Shaman and Supernatural! I understand you have the plates etc. Thank you in advance! 🙂
$6K for this $@&# machine?!? Seriously?
Way too much money
That ain't so bad
Another fucking rip off ultrasonic cleaner ....ffs it's not new technology...
Really makes me mad ....fucknoff and make one for 400
@@makimakipapura7543 youre obviously on a different playing field than most people if you truly think that.
Yes.
I guess if you spend over a hundred bucks for a record (nuts!) it’s worth the price????
no not true whatsoever...you buy that high dollar record for a reason, but you def dont need a $6k+ machine to clean it by any stretch of the imagination
Camera guy won't get closer than five feet 😂
Too noisy and too expensive for the price. I'll stick with my Okki Nokki for $450. What I don't understand is why there is no manufacturer out there that can make a machine like this or Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro at a reasonable price. But in the hifi sector, consumers are basically being "robbed". There is always the argument of small quantities. But as long as the clientele goes along with this, nothing will change. The price for the klaudio is much too expensive in terms of material, or is it "hand-carved? Dear manufacturer: reasonable price = much bought.
Couldn't agree more, an audiophile and his money is easily parted. I've been collecting records since 1970 and have always taken great care of them. I have never needed to use any overpriced cleaning contraption, slather my records in PVA wood glue, spray them with WD40 or melt them in a domestic oven or an overpriced adapted electric blanket. A good routine of care and respect for my vinyl has rewarded me over the years. I've never borrowed or loaned any records or bought 2nd hand vinyl- the very thought set my teeth on edge! This machine looks like it was created by an engineering student- as a product design graduate it has no aesthetic qualities whatsoever.
ridiculous price - get real!!
Six grand... ouch.
Only 6k dollars? For an ultrasonic Chinese machine? We’d like to pay more.
It is not made in China
@@audiotomb So even more.
He's a Korean-American but i guess they all look alike, right?
@@AnalogPlanet The overpriced hiend stuff they all look like, for sure.
Can anyone please translate what the chinese guy is saying? Or put some subtitles under his speeches?
Please send me one of these for free.
This is over $6000. What a bargain why so cheap lol. 🤣
Funniest video on RUclips (no disrespect, it just is)
Good luck selling 100K units
$6000 for a repurposed jewelry cleaner that retails for 3-400. Hmm.
This machine looks to be a copy cat of the Clear Audio Record cleaning ultra sonic machine? If you want the best ultra sonic cleaner you should check out Clear Audio's units from Germany. Much better build quality
That's 100% not true. The Clear Audio is not a cavitation based machine though it is very good.
scam
you are a fool
