Record-playing Rituals?


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?

Doug, do you use them in the treadmill to power your recordplayer? Regards,
hi detlof, nah, no monkey treadmill for the 'table - too much speed-instability issues... ;~)

seriously, tho, i *do* have to suit up to go into animal rooms frequently in my real-life yob as a project mgr at the nih...

Hi Doug, yes I wondered about the instability, but thought you had perhaps a special training program. Regards,
hi david. used records are cleaned first with all-stop record cleaner with disk doctor fluid. then with clean brush apply distilled water to album and remove with my nitty gritty model2.I am expermenting with last cleaners now with
very good sucess. after albums are cleaned use oracle grounded brush for inbettween cleanings ( about 10 plays )
as long album is returned to jacket after playing.
thanks mike . ps \nice thread.
