Last time I looked (admittedly a while back) he was rubbing anti-static spray or some such into a record with a cloth. He spends more time on straw dog arguments against "unstable flawed in design" systems that don't exist. There is so much information available about ultrasonic cleaning and vinyl that I look elsewhere than Kirmuss. The primary attractant for the Kirmuss is likely its low price ($800). No doubt his method has buyers, but imo his offering is not on the same level as other options. ymmv

So would it be safe to say since the price is reasonable you can purchase the Kirmuss as an Ultrasonic RCM and not use the Kirmuss method of cleaning records?
