New ultrasonic vinyl cleaner in the works: Humminguru

japanese google translation doesn't seem to be all that great... It keeps translating "records" to "boards" haha

I think the kanji for 'board' (ban) can also mean 'record'.

Hi, from the author of the Japanese article
I should have written it both in English and Japanese like I used to do...

Anyway so far it's a nice working cleaner at a very reasonable price.

Yes, Japanese vinyl fans often says "レコード盤" (rekōdo ban), literally meaning "record disc" or "record platter".

Hi! Thanks for the review and glad to know it is working well so far! I’m excited to get mine in.

Really starting to wish I had backed this originally rather then waiting. Hopefully the price is still reasonable once it goes to market. The thought of not having to break out a shop vac and put together a whole setup to clean records sounds awfully nice.

At first when I watched the video I was like 10min to clean a record, wtf? But the idea I can put it on and go make a cup of tea is pretty appealing than hauling out the Squeaky Clean and Shop Vac is appealing. Plus missus would definitely like how quiet it is.

HumminGurus shipping soon! according to early a.m. email. Excitement is mounting...

 

[Joe Mac]

Yeah can’t wait. FedEx shipping means I’m about to be battered by customs and admin fees though!

 

[Joe Mac]

I mean I went in knowing the tax was potentially payable. You hope it squeaks through but you can’t really moan too much if you have to pay it!

So busy looking at the gear I almost forgot to listen! I couldn't hear any pops/clicks or other sounds of a dirty record to begin with, so I can't say I noticed a difference. Looking forward to a second 'test.'

There was a difference to my ears. Really looking forward to mine arriving. I also have a giant stack of cleaning I've been putting off.

Finally I found (or "I remember") a particular record in my collection - that is visually NM-, but sounds VG or VG-. This will be featured on "take 2".

Awesome. Thank you!

Hi, here's the "Take 2" with a Brazilian MPB record ffrom 1985. This time, I captured the silent "gap" part between two songs, so you may hear the difference much easily. Also, as being heard in my previous video also, the distortion is entirely reduced during the playback.
