Copying LPs to CDs

For the gentlemen who stated that playing the records wet was the thing to do is dead wrong. Lenco was the European company that came out with a wet record playing system in the late 70's they had an arm with a small microfiber head that applied an alcohol and water solution onto the playing surface that followed the record along with the tonearm. You can find them on ebay occasionally. However in the early eighties it came to light via microscopic investigation that playing a record wet caused increased wear of the vinyl and actually the stylus actually acted as a cutter. Also the liquid would be drawn up the canteliver and into the cartridge motor assembly thereby reducing its life expectancy. That is why many audiophiles had steered away from the Stylast product. I hope this helps.

Mr. eber I was referring to the stylast product as it pertains to the cartridge any liquid introduced into the motor structure of the cartridge will not do the cartridge any good. Not as it pertains to playing a record wet. The Last preservative which is placed on the vinyl is dry before you play a record. What I was trying to convey was that besides being harmful to your vinyl playing a reford wet is also harmful to your cartridge, hence the reference to the stylast product which has also been found th wick up the cantilever into the motor structure (as would a liquid placed on the playing surface of a record) with adverse effects.
