Cleaned up some pretty ratty thrift store finds with the record Dr V. Pretty amazing results on some...not all...I first manually clean with vinyl revival clean/rinse and soft cloth. New records, I generally don't clean them, but I do brush then before play with the audioquest carbon fiber brush.
To clean or not to clean...
Brand new spanking vinyl. When one receives a brand new never played album. What is the consensus?
To clean or not to clean?
I have leaned toward not cleaning until after numerous spins. This may be more out of hope that conditions at the pressing faculty are on par with a semiconductor factory. Overall I have not had issues, but once in a blue moon you do get that annoying pop that make you cringe and think" I should've cleaned this one".
Or am I simply guilty of the lessening of a mundane task.
