Record cleaners come in two broad styles: those designed to deep-clean the gunk out of the record, and those designed to brush the fluff off just prior to playing.
The dirt on a record fresh from the factory is left over from the pressing cycle, and in my experience, it also encourages static buildup on the record, which adds to the noise level and diminishes the enjoyment of the playing experience. And this dirt is bad news-it makes itself known as noise during playback of the record, and it causes premature wear on the diamond stylus of the phono cartridge and on the surface of the record itself. In fact, they come dirty from the factory, and if we’re not careful, it’s all downhill from there. Worth it? I think so, but not all would agree. Cleaning the LPįair warning-cleaning records is fiddly and time-consuming. As I have said before, the vinyl LP is one of the great open source music formats, and I seem to have all the gear set up and ready to go, so. I’ll pick up where I left off last time, with " Voodoo Chile" from my mint copy of " Electric Ladyland," a 33⅓ RPM vinyl LP. Rain, fog, meh-I’m still in the mood to digitize a few vinyl records. Fog so wet it drips, so a newcomer could be forgiven for thinking it’s raining. November rains have given way to December sunshine, Pacific Northwest-style-fog, that is.
