Vinyl Recovery


I have an average size record collection for an audiophile, maybe a couple of thousand records. But I find myself enjoying maybe 40 - 50 or so on a regular basis. The rest of them are there, but rarely played.

My question is related to the the length of time vinyl has to "recover" between plays. I recall an article 35+ years ago that spoke of the need to allow 24 hours between plays to minimize damage to the surface?

Does anyone have any information on the tine between plays to minimize damage? Facts to back up the requirement?

Johnny nailed it...another myth based largely on propaganda over logic...I came into audio roughly a decade later...early 80s..and the latest craze was cement blocks on top of amps... Anybody remember that? Record wear is solely due to hours of listening...regardless of time between intervals.
