Vinyl foibles

It stores all of what anybody ever wrote about any subject, then homogenizes it often regardless of the quality of the source material then coughs up a collective response when prompted. The user must be sophisticated enough to find a truth somewhere in the prose.

@audio-b-dog The PAVCR has made available excellent guidance on methodology for static removal and dust collection.

I have extended this to be used for my cleaning ancillaries, especially the ones with bristles /fibres as the cleaning aid.

I use the Method shown on the PAVCR along with a comb used by dog groomers made from the same material. There is following a cleaning, no dust particulate  remaining visible. The already proven very successful Manual Cleaning Method for Vinyl. Is now with a maintenance of the condition achieved, where a pre-use cleaning method, using non contaminated ancillaries, is keeping the Vinyl remaining in the finest of condition.

I still coming to terms with what I think is a little strange, where I have made such time for all things vinyl. I thoroughly enjoy the learning, the processes and on many occasions the outcomes, but am quick to overlook the medium and put on a CD.

I am writing about Patriarchy. It is a huge subject with all sorts of opinionated writing. There is no terra firma. I am writing fiction so I do not need to worry about the many points-of-view. Chatgbt gives me an historical overview from my point-of-view, which is what I want. I know that if I fed it different questions with different wording, it would come back with very different answers. In other words, it works for me. I am not looking for the "truth" because I don't think it exists with the level of knowledge we have about patriarchy and its origins.

I have been doing some testing on my records that shouldn't have clicks but do. When I put them in the Degritter the clicks disappear. I was assuming that was because the Degritter removed gunk (which it does) from the album's surface. But the more I thought about how many clicks I've heard on records that should be pristine, I realized that the Degritter is also removing static.

I have a Milty Zerostat gun which I have hardly used. I am now judiciously using it to clean all parts of the record. And I find no more clicks. This isn't exactly scientific, but I'll keep testing it.
