I stopped in at Transparent Music today
« on: 6 Sep 2014, 10:00 pm »
I went to demo the Rogue Atlas Magnum power amp. The setup consisted of a Well Tempered turntable with a Dynavector 20XH cartridge, Sonus Faber 2 ways book shelve speakers and a Cronus Magnum integrated amp. This has the same power amp section as the Atlas. I really enjoyed the demo but the thing that really caught my eye and ear was the KD-CLN-LP200 ultrasonic record cleaner. I had just bought If 2 on vinyl. He played it uncleaned with a simple dry brushing. Then Barry cleaned my LP on the KD-CLN-LP200, the diff. was night and day. I want one in the worst way but with an MSRP of $3,995 it will not likely happen anytime soon.

With the Audio Desk at 3995 you would think they'd at least price this thing at 3994!

Bill,

Woodsyi bought the Audio Desk demo at RMAF last year at a pretty good discount.

Not as nice cosmetically, probably all of the effectiveness at 1/10 of the price.

I did....does it look as purdy?......nope
Does it work as well?....yep, maybe better.
I can clean 5 at a time, and its a 60kH not a 40 like the Klaudio
Under 500 clams.
And yes, I've auditioned the Klaudio....its what made me want an ultrasonic.
