Why is caring for your LPs and record player so important?
Vinyl records and record players are delicate products that, with proper care, retain their charm and sound quality. Dirt, dust, and wear and tear can negatively impact your music experience and even cause damage. Therefore, it's important to perform regular maintenance and treat your equipment with care.
Care tips for your LPs
1. Clean regularly
Dust and dirt cause scratches and noise. Use an antistatic brush before playing the vinyl. For a thorough cleaning, a wet wash with a special cleaning fluid is recommended.
2. Proper storage
Store your LPs upright in a sturdy LP holder or storage cabinet, such as the beautiful and functional models from Vin Up . Avoid stacking, as this causes warping and damage.
3. Temperature and humidity
Keep your records in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Extreme weather can warp vinyl and damage cardboard sleeves.
Care tips for your record player
1. Needle check and cleaning
The needle is the heart of the record player. Clean it carefully with a special brush and replace it regularly to prevent damage to your records.
2. Dusting and preventive maintenance
Wipe dust from the turntable and its components with a soft cloth. Also check the drive belt and adjust the tonearm weight for optimal performance.
3. Protection
When your turntable is not in use, it is wise to close the dust cover or use a special cover.
