Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?

All my records have been cleaned at least once, but after play, I'll drop it in my Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner for a quick re-clean. I figure if my stylus is digging / loosening anything in the grooves, it's a good opportunity to get that junk out of there. How about you?

I wash new and used records  on a VPI 16.5 one time and one time only.  I give a record a quick sweep with a Hunt brush before play and clean the stylus with a brush, sometime ME and onzo zero dust after each side.

I seriously dislike cleaning records!  But it is my only form of playback so I have no choice.  My first Basis table ruined digital for me.

+1fjno4, the late AJ did a number on us for sure!  The first time I dropped in the groove I was stunned!
