Anyone else ever experiment with wet playback?

Wet playback was commonly done in the early days of LPs, and I sometimes did it. The method was originated by radio stations. It probably worked better when cartridges tracked at 5 grams.

Current vinyl "experts" think it's a lousy idea.

what are the advantages vs disadvantages. I would think that liquid in the grooves would be similar to dampening? i have played records that i did not get dry(i used to spray a wash before cleaning with my discwasher brush. I now spray my brush lightly vs spraying my records.

Great way to ruin a cartridge.
