Remember to handle it properly and not drop it.... ;)
Kidding.....destat and play. If it wasn't clean already, what's the point of buying new vinyl?
What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record?
That is, apart from kiss the person who gave it to you!
You might play it, catalog it, archive it, clean it or simply store it. I am sure there are many other things you do!

@noromance On 1st play, I look for those tiny hairs being curled up from the stylus. Passing that, I consider the age of the LP in my hands, a few of which are 50+ and deserve to have their foibles... I did consider posting a sign next to the TT: "If you're F'd up already, don't make me negatively add to the condition." It was the rare soul who'd consider attempting to deal with a tangential arm anyway...too alien, too weird....*L* |
@richardbrand ....yes, I recall something to that effect....Parastat may be a name similar to a solution that I spray applied to a couple of Mobil Fidelity LP’s back when.....It sounded as if the content of the cuts became ’silken’ and damped out some hf detail....mho, of course..... |
