HumminGuru Nova Unboxing - I upgraded from my original HumminGuru Harrys Music Room 2025-04-29 | I've had my original HumminGuru for a little over 2 years now. I've really like the results I was getting with it. Because of the HG I found myself buying a lot more USED records, ones I might have passed on in the past. I think it's more than paid for itself since I bought it.Now there's the Humminguru Nova, an updated (and more expensive) version. The Nova has more cleaning/drying options and does no require an large adaptor for 7" and 10" records, simply swap out the small filter at the bottom of the tank for the optional 7" and 10" filters. Pretty easy.The lid can be used as a drying stand, although I don't know why that would be needed since the Nova does an excellent job of drying the record.Here's a link to my unboxing video of the original HumminGuru: youtu.be/yd0fvL-7fkM?si=j1x473hoRFefo5-7
