@pindac @terry9, thanks for the kind words. Be advised that a change to the book was just published with details discussed here: Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition | Page 14 | Steve Hoffman Music Forums
Stylus stuck in groove.
Has anyone developed a stratagem on how to deal with the stylus stuck in groove problem? I’ve tried to get rid of the shmutz using an ultrasonic record cleaner. It seldom works. I’ve also tried the toothpick or fingernail solution but I’m afraid of damaging the record.
I’d love to know how it gets deposited on an otherwise pristine sounding record in the first place.
How does it get there??
