Vinyl Care
I just got a new turntable and cartridge after not having one for years.
I need a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive record cleaner.
I really never took proper care of my records,and would like some basic advice on how to keep them clean on a regular basis.
I also need some guidance on care and cleaning of my cartridge and stylus.My currant cartridge is a Rega exact.
Please know that I don't have a big collection of valuable records,just a bunch of old rock recordings amassed over the past 50 years.
I have started buying some new records,but only select prized albums that I have lost or have been worn out.
Thanks.
elliottbnewcombjrCool system,I love the beautiful bright room too. I have a question,I did not see did you give a link for that volume control device,I would love one of those. Another question,are you using more than one tone arm at the same time on the same record,if so why? Thanks |
jwilloxThank you,I will use the discussion as a reference when proceeding. |
drmusoThanks ,great info.I could use it on my noisy guitar pick guards too. I use unscented dryer sheets now. |
Peter Lederman from Soundsmith told me how to clean stylus. He said do not use a dry brush. Pick up that blue clay type product that is used to hold poster board to walls and comes off clean. I found it at hardware store, Loctite Fun Tak. Form a small column about 1 inch high and stick it to a quarter. Place next to headshell and dip stylus onto top of column a few times before each use. After several "dips" of stylus, remold the Fun Tak so a clean surface is formed. His carts cost in the thousands so I follow his advice. |
