The magic of ANALOG

For those with old records (LPs and singles):
Get de-ionised water, put it in a prayer, and after cleaning the record with a very soft cloth, put the record on the player, spray a bit de-ionised water on it's surface (let the record spin to spread the spray over the whole surface) before putting the needle on.
The de-ionised water works as a "sound purifier" (removing scratches from the sound), has the needle impact lessened, and lubricates the record and the needle.
Do not overdo it, of course, just spray a little bit, mostly on the start of the record.
You can sing, doing this, "I give a little bit, I give a little bit of my love to you."
Who knows, records might love it.
Plants do. XD

When done playing, use a very soft paper tissue to drain the moisture on the record.
Lay the tissue on the record, let it soak the water up, and then remove it.
Do not rinse the record, let the tissue do the work.
Might scratch the record lightly.

Been doing that for decades now, my records are still "as new" even though I play them darn often.

Try it, you'll probably love this.

Anyone on the Sound of Silence song, please?
