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?

Shiprepair - FWIW, I made up some of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser "lollipops" that Dougdeacon had described. Use the ME followed by carbon fiber brush (Discwasher, I think) before and after each side. I don't use any liquids. A magnifying lens confirms this dry process removes dust as well as discoloring residue that builds up on stylus.

Probably worth noting there's less risk of harming the cantilever with the device you use.

Also want to voice support for steam cleaning LPs as Creml has been advocating.
