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?

That's ridiculous, Mechans. You have to be in the sweet spot of the speakers, not the middle of the room. Try it - upon exiting the bathroom, you'll immediately experience a blacker background, and extended, sweeter highs.
What I do is dry-brush before play, (Acoustech Big Brush), and clean the stylus. Unless someone is looking. Then I merely dry brush the record so as not to look too fussy or compulsive.
New or used records get a few spins in the Spin Clean. Repeat every five or ten years.
