Flipping the LP over ...

... do you keep the TT running and just yank the LP off, or do you shut the 'table off first?

Curious as to everyone's habit on that... :)

The salesman I bought my LP12 from had a collection of over 4,000 lp's and had owned his LP12 for almost 20 years. He knew every little nuance about the Linn. He never bothered to stop the platter. He DID teach me the correct way to retrieve it by the edges and lift ever so gently and quickly. Thanks for posting. I don't feel like such a Philestine any more.

The more adept among us can do it with 3 fingers and within 1 revolution of the 'table. All without touching or scratching the surface of grooves.
