RECORD CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure the best sound and the least amount of wear on your records, it’s essential
that they are kept clean. Make sure your records, especially older ones are sufficiently
cleaned prior to playing them
.
Thoroughly clean dust off the stylus and record regularly.
Use a soft brush to clean the stylus. Brush from the base to the tip as shown below.
For records with only light amounts of dust, we recommend brushing them off with a
carbon fiber brush
or velvet pad before playing them. Use a good quality record
cleaner and brush set to keep your records clean. Carbon fiber brushes, velvet pads
and record cleaning kits are available online or in local record stores.
Using a mild dish soap and warm water for washing your records will also help
remove excess dirt and
dust that builds up over the years. Use a microfiber cloth
when washing and wiping off any excess water from the record once they have
been cleaned
NOTE:
Remember, the best cleaning in the world just removes all the dust and dirt. Some
records will have scratches and groove wear. No amount of cleaning will fix this. So after
cleaning, some records may sound “perfect” and others may not.
