About this deal

The difference between the two Knostis appears to be little more than a feeble-looking plastic handle. The Spin Clean is another, very similar looking, manual cleaner; manufactured in the USA and imported to the UK. The Okki Nokki is like a turntable with a vacuum hose instead of a tonearm. Static prevention isn’t a strong point of pure distilled water – and that’s been an issue here. However, a combination of an anti-static gun and new poly-lined anti-static sleeves have effectively resolved that issue. Really? It’s too much hassle and I wouldn’t bother. Depending on the grimy nature of your records, I would use the bath liquid until its too contaminated to use, and then dispose of the same. Then refill with new liquid. In between, to prevent airborne contamination, by all means cover the bath with a cloth or, a better alternative, shape a large piece of kitchen foil over the bath entrance which will be spotlessly clean (a cloth might not be), can be shaped into a rough bath shape and has an element of rigidity and weight so will stay put when the Disco-Antistat is not in use.

Knosti Disco-Antistat: Which Is Better? Spin-Clean Vs Knosti Disco-Antistat: Which Is Better?

fabrication très légère qui ne justifie pas le prix demandé. Par ailleurs, la brosse en poils de chèvre perd des poils qui se retrouvent sur les vinyles. Ce n'est pas le plus grave.New !!! + Includes alcohol free Ultraclean concentrate makes up to 5 liters of ready to use cleaner. I would say that vinyl cleaning is divided into three main categories: manual cleaning, cleaning via a RCM (Record Cleaning Machine) based upon a vacuum system and the high-end option, the ultrasonic cleaner. The design of the new KNOSTI Disco-Antistat Ultrasonic also looks very familiar, it is clearly based on the previous solutions. At least in appearance, the housing resembles the familiar systems from KNOSTI Phono-Zubehör-Vertriebs GmbH.

Results using this machine have been extremely positive. Records previously cleaned by the Spin Clean have come out shining, with all of the Spin Clean fluid successfully removed. Records sound quiet and clear, with excellent extension in the high frequencies and exceptionally low surface noise. To clean, you add the supplied cleaning liquid, which has already been diluted and is ready to use, to the bath (I’ll talk more about the liquid later on). The manufacturer wants you to pour enough liquid until the level reaches the uppermost part of the brush. I would advise against that otherwise you risk running too close to the label area. I know the label is protected by the clamps but, even so, I wouldn’t tempt providence here.Instrumentally, bass offered more character and tonal accuracy while new detail emerged from the guitars. In fact, a rhythm guitar was pushed further forward into the mix, adding rich layering to the music. This ‘article was written because though rumours abound of residue issues, with some people even just using the bare bones of the machine with distilled water and not the ‘Majic Formula’ to avoid those rumoured problems, no online review existed that directed talked about this head on and I could myself find no information to either confirm or deny the residue rumours with this kit. Let’s start with the most notable difference; the color of both sets. The Spin-Clean basin is bright yellow, while the Knosti Disco-Antistat basin is light gray. This is one of those proposed cleaning solutions. A cleaning machine that arrives with its own cleaning liquid. It’s been around for some time, I realise but I’ve never properly reviewed it. I thought it was about time.

Disco Antistat two bath method - [English] - TNT-Audio [Review] Disco Antistat two bath method - [English] - TNT-Audio

What I can say so far is it works really well at 1-1:5 minute for lightly dirty records and 2-3 min for really dirty where the lines of detritus were clearly visible. Another issue though, is that the Generation 2 clamp fits the generation 1 tank. The only difference is that the Gen2 tank has special screws for flaps to keep the clamp and crank in place as you spin it. But this is not important as you can just hold down the clamp with your finger as you crank-spin it. I've had mine for about five or six years and am going to invest in another one soon, as the original is wearing a bit. There's no snake-oil here. Clean records sound better. End of story. But on another note, don't talk to your records. We're not kidding. Just ask Soundsmith.Our washer is ready for use in just a few steps and the intuitive operation ensures optimal results from the very first record! In short, because although the RCM does a far better job of drying the disc, I think the Knosti does a better job of washing. The most important and effective tool of the new KNOSTI Disco-Antistat Ultrasonic is ultrasound, which is used to loosen even stubborn dirt and then remove it with the goat hair brushes. This is the review I read many years ago that said the Knosti Disco Antistat was a good match for L'art Du Son fluid.
