Nice tip, i got this issue with some of my records who's been dusting for a while, the sound is hideous =/
May i put in a request?
I think there would be a huge use in a tutorial explaining all the connectors ec ( what line,aux,tape,rec) actually stands for, and why you shouldnt use some appliances with certain inputs, explaining what cue,aux,line,tape,mV etc etc is :) that would help alot of people!

you cant blow off grime from the oil applied by your finger tips while touching the vynil, it then causes dirt to build up and sticks on the needles..

Great video! Also a lot of people do not know how to take out a record from its sleave. Never ever, ever use your thumb and index finger and pull the record out because If nails are long, you could damage it. Always let the edge of the record record slip out into your palm (don't let the playing surface touch your palm though) then place a finger the label. My sister nearly distroyed my KLF White Room album of which is an unreplaceable classic! Incidenterly I have uploaded some rare old stuff :)

Another good way, pick yourself up the softest bristled toothbrush you can find, such as one for infants.
Remove your cartridge and gently go over your needle keeping to the grain of the brush.
Works wonders, saves 20 bucks =)

now that is a tune!
Anyone know what it's called or who it's by?
I know this sounds crazy,if there is dirt on the needle just blow it off.

Whilst that will get rid of bigger clumps of dirt, there will be tiny bits left on the needle still that can reduce sound quality. Using a good quality brush is a great way of cleaning a needle.

hmm £20 for that?

It may not look like much for your £20 but it'll more than save you £20 in wear and tear of your records. This is a premium brand and as such you can expect premium results although at a higher price. We also sell other vinyl cleaners for as little as £2.95

I use HYDROGEN PEROXIDE 3% with a MICROFIBER cleaning cloth, and the difference is night and day!!! There is no residue left on the stylus after album play. I use 2 cloths one to clean the record and the other one to quickly dry it, WORKS GREAT!!! TRY IT!!!
