Thank you for this thread,
At the moment, space is an important consideration so I use an ultrasonic cleaner. I had one when I started reloading as I am also an amateur goldsmith. The tiny one I started with cleaned 1000's of cases before it burned out and I replaced it with a larger one. It does an adequate job but doesn't make the cases shiny. I can be confident that they are adequately cleaned however and that is what is most important. As a craftsmen I can understand the attraction of the shiny. The fact that the Ultrasonic cleaner is useful for cleaning items other than just brass is a benefit.
Previously, I had planned to purchase or make a SS tumbler when space allowed. Due to this thread I can see that there may be some reasons to consider dry media.
