...sometimes y'all strike me as a deck of cards in the middle of a game of 52 Pick-Up.....
Re Grand Canyon water, which isn't that nice clear stuff you add to your bourbon. It's quite murky...all that earlier minerals picked up adds to the eroison of the rocks or yours.....although the time frame Is a bit more generous....
Re diamond stylus vs. vinyl groove, the diamond wins in the long haul, But.....all those minute vinyl particles will not only eventually compromise the diamond, but add to the 'downstream' ('down groove') wear of the lp.
So, unless you've got a means and methodology of cleaning lps' rivaling a NASA clean room....
Transfer that beloved vinyl disc to a hard drive as soon as is practical. How you do so is your call and preference.
Save playing beloved disc on your SOTA TT when you're entertaining another 'phile who would want...nay, Demand such.
One thought to contemplate:
Unless your cueing mechanism can rival landing the Space Shuttle, the equivalent impact of a stylus on the lp surface likely rivals hitting the surface like a sledge hammer.....
...which is probably why the lead-ins sound like they do.....*ssss*....
(Probably the 'upstream source' of the vinyl 'grit'.....)
BTW, Happy post 4th....*G* J
