Suggestions for Vinyl basics, 😀
Some records are thicker than others, get to know the feel of each thickness.
Buy a trashed album you will never want to play (clean it) and practice flipping it in your hands one side to the other and putting it on your Turntable . playing a record is basically a mechanical ritual. you will decide all the things that need to be done and in what order. even putting a record back into a sleeve needs to be practiced. consistency and muscle memory are important! some records will be cheap and loved others will be expensive and loved. your discipline is the key to preserving anything you like for future listening . audio excitement is great but must be treated with respect. Never rush whatever Technique you find acceptable…. The hobby can be very rewarding, just remember there’s always someone that knows more than you and someone that knows less. you will find all kinds of opinions out there and lots of descriptions relating music to the art of listening.
YouTube is also a great source of audio information. good luck and enjoy the journey!
