One's perspective is from where you sit.
Remember when Dope Smokers were known for eating potato chips & droping Coke(or Cola) all over their LPS in the 1960-70's. Or, did the "Chips & Coke" pass by you & the Bong ?
Perhaps that's one reason (in today's world) a First Edition Mono Beatles(Green Color Lettering $150 mint ++ & up ) or Mono Sgt. Peppers (w/ Gandi on cover $1,000 & up); LPS can be like having gold in the vault, stocks & bonds excluded.
With New LPS starting @ $30 & up , buying a scad of records in hard times is only for the affluent. Keeping that LP clean 'ment many years ago using a silicon dampened cloth. Thirty years later we know better than damn-up our lungs with smoke , or gum-up our LPS with cloths...or do we?
If you feel that purity of water is silly that's your opinion.
The object here is to pass-on/discuss State-Of-The-Art Methods to keep our precious LPS in "Perfect" condition by using SOTA cleaning methods. Its not about spending money , its about using the very best methods.
This thread is about saving LPS , something that many a Doper of the past regrets for more reasons than one.
Michael Fremer is one of a few reviewers who has made a career out of helping fellow analog'ers:I say hats off to him & his advice.
I look at issues like this keeping in mind , that from the perspective of life & death all of this is silly. For the living ... Its what we do when we are making other plans.
You be silly, I be silly ... As for me I'm returning to the sand-box ... I've got several more ideas to play with. Silly to us all ...
