![]() Lehmann Audio Decade Arts Manual On XPut a record in, press the button and come back to a revitalised and ready to play disk – that’s it.- Warning light comes on if the water in the reservoir drops below a certain level (as it evaporates over time as you clean more records) - one practical point to consider is that the machine holds about 4.5 litres of water. Depth, detail and clarity of playback is improved and I’ve heard things on records I’ve not noticed before in 30+ years of playing.- Speed – Yes, the cleaning / drying cycle takes about 5 to 8 minutes (depending on which programme selected) but that is still quicker, more effective and less messy than my old cleaning regime.- Stylus stays clean on my turntable – I’m always nervous about damage to my cartridge stylus when cleaning, so the fact that I no longer need to do this as often is a big plus for me.- Number of records cleaned in a relatively short space of time - I’ve had this machine about 3 weeks and I’ve already cleaned about 350 records. It should go without saying that it can’t repair surface scratches but even on old/second-hand records which may not have been looked after particularly well, the difference in sound quality before and after cleaning is significant. It even made a difference on a brand new record, straight out of the cellophane, which had never been played before.Surface noise is eliminated or at least greatly reduced, depending on the physical condition of the record itself. ![]() I tried a copy of Grant Green’s “Idle Moments” (Blue Note remaster) bought from eBay. Lots of research led me to this machine as the one that will deliver truly outstanding results (thanks to reviews from various sources including those on this site).New records or used ones in good condition, once cleaned, deliver wonderfully full sound and a background that is either silent or with hardly any crackle. Having tried a cheap method (the Knosti disco antistat) I decided it was time to get serious. While it is possible to get by with playing new records just as they come the charity ones certainly need a clean to be worth playing and give the stylus a longer life. I continue to buy new full price LPs (and CDs) as well as charity shop bargains, also a good source of deleted issues. Many of the classical ones were bought in pre-CD days and have been looked after but never got a professional clean. After an extended clean there was no harshness and only occasional minor crackle. The original owner must have looked after it well but the years had left their mark with regular pops and the vocal sounding a bit harsh. I then tried a Janet Baker song recital (EMI,1968) bought from a charity shop. It was a similar story with Bartók’s second piano concerto played by Alexis Weissenberg and conducted by Eugene Ormandy. After a prolonged clean (keep the button pressed for 5 beeps) I heard a full blown orchestra and a mass of brass at their majestic best in the opening. This was another charity shop purchase with a horrible steely edge to the sound, hard to enjoy. Excel for mac evaluate formulaThis sounded great from the start (a bargain at £30 for 5 180g discs) standard cleaning gave more incisiveness to the instruments in the overture and the subsequent vocals. I then tried a box set of Don Giovanni conducted by Teodor Arentzis bought new last year (Sony Classical). The dialogue involving the strings, piano and drums leading to the lightning fast middle section was again delivered with full and convincing sound. The strings in the calm other worldly opening of the middle movement now sounded full with the bases coming through as a healthy musical sound rather than a generalised rumble. They can have a lot of dust or even hair and by getting rid of it I keep the Audio Desk machine fluid cleaner and give the filter a longer life. I cleaned around 40 records in the first two and a half days and could have done more but wanted time to enjoy at least some of the results as well!For charity shop records I first clean them with the Knosti disco antistatic just to get the surface rubbish off them. I could discuss many more examples but the point is made. After a clean it was transformed to a joyous experience. I played it as it was with the result of quite a bit of crackle and a somewhat muted sound. Placing the record so it starts rotating unaided takes a bit of practice but you soon get used to when the record has engaged the transport mechanism (it needs a bit more force than feels comfortable but the record is fine). I would also prefer the control panel to feature a function selector with visual confirmation and a separate start button, not a big point and maybe others prefer the current set up. So I have ordered a cheap mechanical tally counter from eBay which will stay next to the machine (there are many suppliers, I chose one with 100% rating). I downloaded a free tally counter app on my phone but found it to be a bit hap-hazard as the phone is not always by me. After all you don’t buy a machine like this and then clean records in a solution past its best.
