New ultrasonic vinyl cleaner in the works: Humminguru

Ok then

I just remember hearing that idea either here or another forum like a year and a half ago

Yeah, just cause you can't hear it doesn't mean it can't hurt you but I think there'd have to be some impressive SPL for that to take place? Inverse square law is your friend in this department.
 
Bruh. That was about the easiest record cleaning session one could ever hope for. Just cleaned a 40 year old Zeppelin record and there is nary a crackle. Granted these were very well kept records from a friend but still.

Only complaint was that there were still a few large droplets even after a 10 minute dry cycle.
 
I had a container of PhotoFlo (a surfactant) from my homemade cleaning fluid days. A single drop to the tank helped reduce the surface tension of the water, which results in better cleaning and more complete drying. If you've got PhotoFlo or Triton X-100 lying around, a very, very tiny amount may help.

@Joe Mac , any reports of droplets using UK distilled water?

Hopefully mine makes it past the label created status this week

Dunno you’d have to ask them. I have had that occasionally, randomly seems to be more common on clear or translucent records, and like above just dabbed off with spin clean towel. Ireland is a spectacularly damp country though (high humidity especially in winter but even though it’s correct the word humid feels wrong because it’s not warm lol)
 
So I actually have residual droplets on some records, even after a 10min drying. This is only on older, thinner records. I would think this is just the vinyl formula? Anyway there is definitely a pattern with older records
