Flipping the LP over ...


... do you keep the TT running and just yank the LP off, or do you shut the 'table off first?

Curious as to everyone's habit on that... :)

Shut it off. If there is any grit or anything under the record when you lift it, it may scratch or score the record. Especially on a TT without a mat.
Also, I have a clamp, so I have to turn it off first, anyway.
With my table, there is a vacuum hold down and a drive switch. I shut both down and then change sides.

I have a felt mat and I must say that I leave it on throughout the entire listening period.
