Vinyl foibles
I'd like to make this a space to ask questions about vinyl problems you're having trouble solving. I have a lot of questions, but I think it's better if we ask one at a time, or else I think we could have long lists.
Here is my first question. I have a Degritter album washer. I think it works great. I wash all my albums once, but not before I play them again and again. Somehow, though, and this includes new albums no one else has ever touched, they pick up ticks and what sounds like scratches. I rewash the album and it sounds like new again. I only touch albums by their edges. How do inner bands become so dirty that sometimes a smudge can last a minute or more? I've been playing vinyl albums for more years than many of you have lived, and I have learned to be very careful with vinyl. Are there vinyl gremlins haunting my album shelves?

@dogberry Do you think? LOL! |
I feel sorry for us if we end up depending upon AI for factual information. It only knows what’s been written and entered on the internet without editing or referee. A hodgepodge of thousands of different opinions that will eventually take the place of real investigative work and finally also actual controlled experiments. For example, ChatGPT says yes, the stylus causes static charge . Because the vast preponderance of internet entries say it does. Because this is an erroneous belief that persists. If ChatGPT existed 1000 years ago, it would have told us the sun revolves around the earth or that bloodletting is a good treatment for fever. |
