Cleaning records. How often really?


Suppose, they have just been machine-cleaned and are played maybe two times a month in a regular environment.
Also treated with Last record preservative and kept in sealed outer sleeves.
Once a year or so?
Just don't tell me before each play, yeah, I heard of this insane approach.

Seems that we all have a cure for dirty records.  I use an Audio Technica brush and make my own cleaning fluid.  I got the recipe from the December 1996 Stereophile.  I clean every time I play.  I have no ticks, clicks, or pops.  In fact I can't remember the last time I heard a click or pop from my LP's.  They're very quite.  

I make the formula in gallons, bottle it and give it away as gifts to other audio nuts like myself.  If you can't find the Stereophile issue email me and I will send you a copy.

Best,
Norman
