Ultrasonic cleaning is not some new, unproven technology. Just the use in record cleaning is sorta new. The OP compares it with a VPI machine and reported that on some discs that the VPI couldn't get the job done, ultrasonic cleaning did. Yet some replies seem to say "Get thee a VPI 16.5 and that's all you'll ever need". Guess what guys, time marches on. Something is bound to come along that does it better. I have a few LP's from a seller on eBay who uses US to clean the albums he sells and they look so clean they could pass for new and they sound great. If you're skeptical, a great way to test this out is to have a couple of records cleaned ultrasonically. One disc that sounds good and one that sounds unlistenable to you. A clean record sounds better than a dirty one so to me, the cleaner the better.
