Oh, yeah

Congratulations on finding something that works so well for you!

As to cleaning, I think I still agree with Linn and Rega, but once it got to the point that getting new music meant buying old records, I bought a Nitty Gritty. With brand new records, I never had an issue not cleaning my records, but Linn used to say that most cleaning methods do more harm than good, pushing dust lying harmlessly on the surface down into the groove. Not knowing how a used record was cared for, I feel better if I clean every record I get before playing it. Being a wet cleaning system, it gets rid of any static the record might hold along with cleaning the groove. I never use a dry brush on the records; once the records have been cleaned, I just take one out of its sleeve and play it. If I mishandle it and get my fingers on the playing surface, it goes back on the Nitty Gritty for another wash.
