A question: Can playing dirty records ruin the needle/stylus? Or is it safe?
Yes, it is safe, but it does cause more wear on the stylus. When a manufacturer tells you you might get 250 (Nagaoka doesn’t tell the truth) to 1000 hours, they are talking average record cleanliness. Super-clean records add hundreds to another thousand hours to stylus life. Not so important to an MM user, but a very expensive issue for MC users.
I’m on board with the SpinClean, but what do I pair it with specifically?
Time to read that PDF I linked!
