I have always washed new vinyls with the Nitty Gritty machine but lately for new vinyls recently purchased I have decided not to wash them; I listened to some tics and pops after washing with the record washer and I'm sure they weren't there before washing.
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.
