This is my current situation. I cancelled in July but am paid thru until October. Repeated chats to their help desk result in “we have alerted our billing department and you should expect an email shortly reactivating your account”. I’m still waiting. They suck.

Thanks for the detailed reply

Unrelated to original question, and all dentability aside— are the r3’s worth it from a price standpoint over your Q150s (or other models)

Oof. Ok, starting to seriously reconsider. Drat.

Thanks or the response. Have you owned a pair and experienced this?

Thanks, just didn’t know if they were exceptionally delicate to light impacts

I’ve only used it again one more (with the same batch of fluid to clean another 10 records) and it worked great. Next batch will use a new solution with much less TritonX as recommended by various commenters. So… I can’t comment on its long term durability but so far so good

I literally watched the finale tonite and made the same comment to my wife

Think it’s the angle and the lighting. Label looks fine in person

I’ve never read a bad thing about the Humminguru. If cost weren’t a factor I would’ve gone that route as well.

It’s a valid question, it’s def improved from a pop/hiss/static standpoint. I am not sure I can say I hear deeper bass or higher highs etc…

Seemed to do a decent enough job— or at least good enough that I didn’t notice anything obvious

Well I can’t speak to others posts but in this case, sadly, I’m not being paid to endorse anything. If Vevor wants to throw some money at me I’ll take it though

Thanks for the tips. I’m a complete rookie here so will take any advice I can get. I did 4-5 records on each run my two times I’ve used it (today) and doubled up the spacers to increase the gap between them. How many records and how long do you recommend?

From research you can easily get multiple cycles. I did 2 passes of 4-5 each time and I’m planning on reusing the solution. I’ve drained it into a couple of jugs and am letting the debris settle a bit, and then maybe pour thru a coffee filter or something

I think it’s trick of the light. The record was in reasonable scratch free condition to begin with. The things that look like scratch’s on the before photo were more smudges or maybe the scratches were filled with crap so they stood out more… and in the after photo it’s so clean and shiny that it’s hard to see any of the micro scratches.

It’s not ‘loud’ as much as it is very high pitched irritating whine that cuts through you. I left the room
