Once that starts happening with a given record, even if I solve it somehow, with subsequent listens I get all anxious that will happen again, and the enjoyment goes out the window. Either get a new lp or just enjoy it digitally
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??
