The Lifespan of an LP?


How many times can one play a new vinyl lp before the sound noticeably degrades? For the purpose of the exercise, assume one takes decent care of the record and has a properly set up and maintained, good quality deck and stylus. My system has been taking quantum leaps in quality over the last three years and I find myself buying more mint and near-mint vintage  records on Discogs and audiophile remastered records from MoFi etc. Thanks!

Like Inna,
a Nakamichi cassette player becomes my musical source to cut down on my use of records.  I also 
Place Last record preservative on 
all new records.  Cd’s are also 
a source of my music.
