Record-playing Rituals?


I'm curious what everybody's riuals are when listening to albums. How often do you clean the records? Every Time? How often do you clean and lubricate the stylus? Every time?

Turn 'stereo' on and let warm up at least 15minutes
Take our record
take dust cover off NAD533
put record platter and hit the power
dust record with carbon brush as it spins
put weight on record
drop the needle

i wet clean records when i get 'em
dry clean them with carbon brush off platter after they have been sitting for a while
use brush then gel on needle every week
demag with Cardas burn-in record every week

Don't have a cleaning machine and aint gonna get one.
Records woulkd probably benefit from such a machine but the records sounds real good as is and any wear down to my needle is appreciated because it will neccessitate upgrading. ;-)
