Flipping the LP over ...

... do you keep the TT running and just yank the LP off, or do you shut the 'table off first?

Curious as to everyone's habit on that... :)

If there is any grit or anything under the record when you lift it, it may scratch or score the record. Especially on a TT without a mat. Also, I have a clamp, so I have to turn it off first, anyway.
