The Degritter Record Cleaner

Vinyl like you’ve never heard it before

The Degritter RCM comes in Black or Silver

We live in a digital world and one thing that digital audio has done is to make us more critical of extraneous noises when we listen to our vinyl records. But at the same time, vinyl retains that unique musicality that makes the listening experience special.

As enthusiasts and music lovers, we all want to extract as much information from the grooves as possible. But those grooves also fall prey to all kinds of contaminants that cause surface noise and restrict fidelity. Surprisingly, this is even the case with new records which contain various residues from the pressing process.

If only we could remove all of that. Enter the Degritter – without a doubt the best record machine we have ever had the pleasure to use. Where most previous approaches to cleaning have relied on the application of fluids with brushes, the Degritter uses ultrasonic cleaning. A super powerful 300 watt ultrasonic amplifier creates streams of microscopic air bubbles which agitate the groove and release the residues and contaminants stored within it. Brushes simply cannot deliver the kind of deep cleaning the Degritter achieves.

In use, the Degritter is simplicity itself. Simply pop the record in the top slot, select the appropriate cleaning programme on the beautifully clear dial, press play and you’re done.

Now the best part! The “before and after” experience of listening to a degritted record is simply astonishing. Yes, ticks and pops are radically reduced, but the real surprise is the overall improvement in sound quality. It really is the aural equivalent of looking through a recently cleaned window. The sound is clearer, fresher and more vibrant. Detail is improved throughout the frequency range – it really is like experiencing the recording for the first time.

And lastly, a word about design. Forget the tank-like machines of the past. The Degritter is as beautiful to look at as it is to use. Even the user-manual is beautifully written and illustrated, underlining the commitment to excellence that permeates the whole package.

We sold out our first batch of Degritters and have more on the way. If you want to experience the Degritter for yourself please call us and bring in a favourite record for a demonstration of what this astonishing machine can do.
