Audio Desk Systeme Pro X Vinyl Cleaner
Looking for the ultimate in record cleaning? This push button, fully automatic machine from Germany is by far the best we've found.
If you've been searching for the Holy Grail of record cleaning - incredible efficiency plus automation (read: cleaning a record while simultaneously listening to another in another room!) then look no further...you've found it!
Expensive?...undoubtedly. Is it worth it?...every penny!
Records are precious:
Not only because they are excellent sound carriers. Often the so-called "black gold" is an irreplaceable collector's item. Even when great care is taken, in the long time it is inevitable that records get dirty.
A gentle cleaning of the disc is particularly important to preserve its value. Reiner Gläss, the brain behind Audiodesk Systeme, has developed a professional yet comfortable LP-washing machine – the "Vinyl-Cleaner". The Vinyl Cleaner is a fully automated machine that sets new standards in user-friendliness.
January 2016 saw the release of the newest Vinyl Cleaner evolution stage: The Vinyl Cleaner PRO! The PRO-version features an independent drying process that is not coupled with the washing procedure, better water drainage and other improvements.
Now there's the Pro X!
What's improved?
In the new model, the optimizations that took place in 2019 are improved. There is also a new electrical control that is more resilient and therefore has a longer service life.
Operating the Vinyl Cleaner PRO X is very simple: Just insert the disc into the machine's opening and press the red button. A yellow LED lights up and the gentle cleaning process runs fully automatically. Thereby counter-rotating microfiber cleaning barrels and ultrasonic waves softly remove even deep-sitting dirt particles from the record grooves. During operation the machine permanently filters the cleaning fluid. Afterwards two special high-performance motors guarantee an effective drying procedure of the record – at very low volume levels. When, after a short period of time, the green LED lights up the cleaned disc can be removed from the apparatus.

"...the Audio Desk takes the cleaning regimen about as far as it can be taken. Which is apparently very far. This is a well-nigh miraculous product that produces results equivalent to a cartridge upgrade."
