Do you let your vinyl rest after playing?


Another one of this interesting issues

That old chestnut's been whupped to death 1,000 times on this and every other vinyl forum. Search if you must, but I'm resting. ZZZZ....
I made the mistake of trying to answer this question for someone a few months ago. I'm not going to go through it again. You can find the answer in the very popular book, "Good Sound" by Laura Dearborne. (Don't know if I spelled the name exactly right.)
After playing my vinyl, I ice it down and then give it the next 4 days off.
Treat it just as you would a starting pitcher in baseball. ;^)
When I was young I'd put it on repeat and make that vinyl sing all night long, but now that I'm older, it's me who needs time to recover. Damn!
I send my vinyl to hot yoga. Yes, warping can be a problem there but it sounds so effortless and relaxed after....
