I'm curious what everybody's riuals are when listening to albums. How often do you clean the records? Every Time? How often do you clean and lubricate the stylus? Every time?
steveline, if you're joking about the silly putty you have about two hours to tell me before i ruin my new glider. for the love of jesus, let me know asap!
Yes, p l e a s e , I'm with Kubla, let us know and Greg, LOL, I do love your mind ! By the way, I'm busy trying out Albert's RR solution, comparing it to my mixture. I still have to war for the RR record washing solution to get a really clear picture.
Steveline is right. I used to manage a store that sold Linn and that was the first time I saw the putty. But not being a Linnie I would not do anything a Linnie would do. I'm coming out now and saying I am anti-linnetik (there goes my rating). I will admit that after looking at cartridges under the scope, those that were puttied were cleaner. Maybe some of you could feel my pain...a tube lover in Linn land. Nothing gave me more satisfaction then converting a Linnster over to tubes. Someday I'll start a thread about Linn....a view from the inside. It will be a shocking, disturbing expose.
Oh heck, those typos. I have to wait, not to war, ain't a freebootin' poirate, Oi ain't , rahter just patiently waiting. Longplate....I suppose all views from the inside of what will you, are probably disillusioning. I'm a linnetik-heretic too, though I think Tiefenbrun was the first to show, that turntables matter, wasn't he?
Linn doesn't believe in cleaning the stylus, rega doesn't even believe in cleaning the records. I use a stylus cleaner, but not a stylus preservative. Mr Shagano says it's a no-no. Any good stylus cleaner should completely evaporate before you play a record.
