| Old records. @puptent It's amazing how many of us do use alcohol in some form (isopropanol or ethanol) in our cleaning solutions and seem to get away with it. The 'ripples in a sandbar' appearance is something I associate with the discoloration caused by PVC o... | |
| Old records. The majority of my records are old. Those that were in the house when I was a kid were treated pretty dreadfully, being played on an old Garrard radiogram and then a Philips portable player. Stylus changes only happened when the thing would no lon... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm What's this, Lew? Only just discovering it? It's a bloody wonder for the price. Spare styli for it are cheapest at https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOACS-69258. I've stocked up. | |
