Flipping the LP over ...

I figured Twl would show up here! Whew, now all we Linn/felt mat people can feel vindicated!

I developed a habit of flipping LP's on my LP12 without turning the motor off. It seems this works great with light / thin LP's but... I have ruined a few nice 200 gram LP's when they slipped out of my hands, fell back onto the platter and got all scratched up.

Today, I always turn off the motor before removing a record from the LP12.

Ah yes! The infamous Linn Grip, Flip, and Drop. The more adept among us can do it with 3 fingers and within 1 revolution of the 'table. All without touching or scratching the surface of grooves.

Kinsekd - how many records did you destroy before you figured it out?? :)

A couple. Thankfully nothing rare or hideously expensive.

But then, I've always been pretty fussy about how I handle my records. :o)
