HumminGuru S-DUO PRO HG010 – The second generation, now rechargeable
Under the brand name HumminGuru, the company Happy Well International Enterprise Ltd. offers various accessories for vinyl records, including a cleaning solution for pick-up systems with an integrated tone arm balance. The second generation of this product is now available as HumminGuru S-DUO PRO.
- The HumminGuru S-DUO PRO is the latest generation of compact cleaning solutions for pick-up systems, with an integrated tonearm balance.
The Hong Kong-based company Happy Well International Enterprise Ltd. is probably best known for its HumminGuru brand, under which it develops and sells a wide range of solutions for vinyl records, in particular cleaning solutions such as the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner record cleaning machine, but also the HumminGuru S-DUO universal tool.
The HumminGuru S-DUO is a cleaning solution for pick-up systems, which effectively removes dirt from the needle using ultrasound. At the same time, it also provides a tonearm balance.
Two tools in one product
A so-called tonearm scale is an indispensable tool for every vinyl enthusiast, as it is used to set the correct tracking force on the tonearm. This is an essential step for achieving the best results, even for those turntables that are basically supplied as so-called plug & play solutions with a pre-mounted pick-up system.
Of course, such tools are available in a wide range of designs and price categories, from purely mechanical solutions to electronic ones, such as the HumminGuru brand from Happy Well International Enterprise Ltd.
The special feature here is that, as already mentioned, a cleaning tool for the pick-up system is also implemented, and it is a particularly effective one.
The basis for this is ultrasound at 110 kHz, which, in combination with a cleaning solution, removes any kind of contamination from the needle and the needle carrier of the pick-up system.
This was true of the first generation of this tool, and it is also true of the second generation, the HumminGuru S-DUO PRO 2-in-1 Ultrasonic Record Stylus Cleaner and Digital Pressure Gauge.
HumminGuru S-DUO PRO 2-in-1 Ultrasonic Record Stylus Cleaner and Digital Pressure Gauge
First of all, both solutions are similar except for a few details. As the name suggests, the new HumminGuru S-DUO PRO 2-in-1 Ultrasonic Record Stylus Cleaner and Digital Pressure Gauge is also a cleaning solution based on ultrasound and a tonearm scale.
As the manufacturer considers it particularly important, it should be mentioned again that the device relies on an ultrasonic cleaning frequency of 110 kHz, which is said to produce a completely clean pick-up in just 20 seconds for the best results when scanning the record. No alcohol is used here, so this solution can be used with any pick-up system without any problems, according to the manufacturer. The matching pipette for applying the drop of liquid is included.
As a tonearm scale, this solution can be calibrated at any time for particularly accurate operation, and the corresponding weight is included. The weight is displayed with two decimal places, making it particularly accurate.
Rechargeable with charging station and USB-C
The new HumminGuru S-DUO PRO differs from the previously available version primarily in that it does not use batteries, but an integrated, rechargeable battery. It also comes with a matching charging station, which in turn can be connected to the appropriate power supplies via USB-C.
It is extremely practical that the charging station also holds all the small parts of the scope of delivery, i.e. the rubber supports, drying pads and the water dropper. This means that everything is always at hand.
Prices and availability
The new HumminGuru S-DUO PRO should be available soon, according to the manufacturer. The price for this solution is € 125,-, although this should be taken with a pinch of salt, as it does not include any taxes or transport costs from Hong Kong. The fine piece is already listed on Amazon.de, which saves you all the problems that importing from the Far East can bring.
Getting to the point
With the new HumminGuru S-DUO PRO, Happy Well International Enterprise Ltd. from Hong Kong is offering vinyl lovers the latest, second generation of a universal tool from the HumminGuru brand that is both a tonearm scale and a particularly effective cleaning tool for pick-up systems. The new PRO version is characterised above all by the fact that it is now rechargeable and comes with a practical charging station in which all the small parts can be stored.
