Keeping Vinyl Clean

The first thing you want to do is make sure you have all the necessary accessories to keep your vinyl clean and protected.

This will be the best way to safely clean your vinyl records. You will also want to get plastic sleeves and covers. You want to make sure that each vinyl has its own plastic sleeve. You will also want to put the album cover in a plastic protector. Valuable records must be kept in absolutely perfect condition.

Having a Record Player

If you plan on listening to your collection, you will need to have a record player. Not just any old record player will do. Vinyl can get damaged easily, and you want to be certain you are playing your records on the highest quality player possible. Look for something like VPI turntables. These high quality players will not only produce wonderful sound quality, but will be better for your records in the end. Do some research to ensure you buy the best record players on the market.  This is not something you want to buy because it is low in price. Go with quality.

Don’t Forget Vintage

To be a real collector you are going to want to have a nice collection of vintage as well as new vinyl records. To get in the collectors’ market, you want to be on the lookout for rare finds. Keep up to date with what is going on in the collectors’ market. At different times, different records will go up in price. Find a good place to do some buying, selling, and trading. You may have items you want to get rid of that someone else is willing to pay top dollar for. That old Neil Young vinyl you have sitting out in the garage might just be worth a lot of money.
