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... :)

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.
Cpdunn99. I guess you're lucky

Some of the 200 gram Classic Records re-releases are just about the exact same size as the LP12 platter giving you very little to grab ahold of when removing the LP from the table. It's super easy to screw up with these LPs because you almost have to get your finger nails under them to lift off the platter while spinning.
