Degritter Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Updates
Having established itself as the go-to ultrasonic record cleaner, the Degritter has released its Mark II version, along with a software update for owners of existing machines.
The engineers at the Estonian company have worked hard on the facelift but also added several new features and refinements. The Degritter MkII now features Perfect Touch Buttons offering a new and improved tactile user experience. Also new for Degritter MkII is Power Drive 2.0, a pulse mode cleaning feature. During pulsing, ultrasonic transducers rapidly
switch on and off at high power. Degritter says, "this gives enhanced cavitation in water, but keeps the average power consumption low".
For existing Degritter owners, the news is also good. Newly released software version 2.3.6 includes multiple improvements that are also present in the new MkII machine. A new fixed menu makes navigating the machine's features easier. Water temperature is constantly displayed during the washing cycle, and you can also choose your preferred water temperature units, either Celsius or Fahrenheit. There's the option to reset filter runs when the filter is cleaned, and a post-wash rinse option - the Degritter now supports rinsing records during washing cycles with a designated separate water tank. Finally, Degritter says improvements to the overall stability of the machine's operating system have also been made.
Degritter Mark II will sell for £2,540 RRP. The last stock of the original Degritter is still available and sells for £2,450 RRP with the newest firmware installed and is bundled with a free additional water tank.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
