It must be tough to be as dumb they are about vinyl care. You gotta really try to fuck it up so badly that you end up with clicks and pops that weren't there before.

It must be tough to be as dumb they are about vinyl care. You gotta really try to fuck it up so badly that you end up with clicks and pops that weren't there before. I mean, what could go wrong? Taking a relatively soft surface, putting friction on it while smothering it with chemicals and impure tap water, then allowing any impurities on that surface to dry to a lovely cement like hardness, then more friction with a piece of cloth. Seems like a great idea. |

I knew how to take care of my records 60 years ago. It's not that hard.

It really isn't that hard. Keep the dust off them, and if they're really dirty, don't use some dumbass homebrew method that involves your vacuum cleaner, tap water and a dish rack!

If you buy a used record with visible dirt on it, then sure it will sound better if you figure out a way to clean it. But this dude is saying he ruined 10 brand new ones fucking around with cleaners. That could be nearly $500 worth of records at today's prices!

Best way to clean records is to get a bottle of one of those boutique cleaning solutions that cost $60 for a half liter, and load up the the dishwasher.

At some point someone will invariably recommend to put the records in the oven on a low heat to safely dry the records to avoid beeps and pops, then we'll see a thread title: I melted muh vinyls in thuh oven, is there anyway to get them back? Help!

The best thing to do is apply ultra virgin pure wood glue from Canada on both sides, then sandwich the record between two pieces of cherry wood, and weight it down with silk bags of imported sand from the Grecian Isles. The high quality glue and wood absorb the bad toxins from the LP, the Greek sand increases the fidelity by opening the dynamics in the grooves through osmosis, with the breathable silk allowing full osmosification. Use sand from Africa to increase the low end and add a bit of sparkle to the mids, or sand from South America to have more tight rhythms and brightness to female vocals.
It's a process but if you consider yourself an audiophile it’s worth the expense and strange looks from your cat while gluing your records between two pieces of wood. The record cannot be played, but the sound is now perfect, and is protected from the biggest source of damage to any LP: the record needle. It’s for the music after all, there’s no simpler way to enjoy it.
