You mean you don't?
From the Vinyl Engine (15 October 2009):
"How do i wet-play? I just spray a fine mist of water over the record surface and then play the record as always. It does not need excessive water.
Why does it work? Simply, when the groove is wet, the stylus glides the dust away instead of riding over it like a bump. The stylus is thus cleaning and playing at the same time. Plus it eliminates any static charge problem. This also means dust will not get attracted to the surface when removing the record from the platter."

I read something quite contradictory.
When the stylus goes through the groove in melts it just a little and it is like ice skates. Ice is not that slippery but the pressure from the skate melts a thin layer of it which refreezes when the pressure is removed.
The premise of what the guy was saying is that because the water prevents the melting the stylus rips off the sharp corners of the groove modulation and causes distortion on subsequent plays.
True or not ? I don't know. Next time I go to the surplus place I can ask if they got any electron microscopes.
I got got one problem with that place. They start with a jacked up prices and then keep on reducing it. So it is advantageous to wait and let them sit on it. However there is a risk someone else will but it out from under you.
But I really wouldn't put it past them to have an electron microscope, they got dialysis machines. I thought when those got replaced they got sent to foreign countries.
That place is one of our favorite haunts, but is not all that close by, and you don't want to take a little shitcan car there, take at least an SUV, a pickup truck would be even better.
When you walk in your nostrils are greeted by the smell of oil. Many units to buy you put a tag on it and go see a rep. they might have a towmotor come and load you. They have transformers the size of a kitchen stove, think of that for an amp. Simple, just call the electric company and order 440 three phase and you're rocking the hood. And the next county.
Yeah, one time the cops came for loud music, FROM A DIFFERENT CITY ! I shit you not. I lived in rocky River and Lakewood is right next to it and their cops came. I laughed, they got no jurisdiction.
Anyway, to anyone by the way, does anyone have an opinion bout LASER based record playing ? I have sen a few articles on that and there are drawbacks. I think really if you want that you get the dust out of the room, like with one of those air cleaners or two. Then play it the first time for transcription purposes. The main problem is apparently when it comes to a piece of dust or whatever, NOTHING happens to it. The dust is reproduced flawlessly.
I'd love to get my hands on some.
