About the Glass

The Audiodesksysteme Glass (also known as the Vinyl Cleaner) is a professional-grade, fully automatic record cleaning machine designed by Reiner Gläss. It uses a unique cleaning process combining ultrasonic cavitation with counter-rotating microfiber cleaning barrels to remove contaminants deeply embedded in vinyl grooves. The cleaning fluid is continuously filtered to prevent recontamination. After cleaning, two high-performance fans dry the record using filtered air, avoiding static charge common in vacuum-based dryers. The machine accommodates 12-inch LPs and can be upgraded for 7- and 10-inch records with optional adapters. The cleaning cycle takes approximately 5 to 6 minutes, after which the LP is clean, dry, and ready to play immediately. The device features German engineering with a rigid PVC housing, microprocessor-controlled operation, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Dimensions are approximately 33 cm (W) x 27 cm (H) x 20 cm (D), and it weighs about 5.5 kg empty. It includes proprietary cleaning fluid concentrate and microfiber barrels. The machine is praised for its quiet operation, thorough cleaning performance, and ease of use, making it highly regarded among audiophiles and professionals.
