Useful Tips
Spindeck MAX should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood, MDF,
or multiple layer plywood board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay. The
Andover Spinbase products have been specifially designed to provide a stable, solid
support that perfectly compliments Spindeck MAX.
Turntables and vinyl LP’s require a gentle touch to maximize performance and
longevity. Following these guidelines will result in years of noise-free, reliable
performance.
• Do not handle records by the grooved areas. Grasp them by the edges, or by
balancing the label on your thumb and steadying it with your forefinger at the
edge of the record. Fingerprint oils attract dust which increases wear and adds
noise.
• Invest in a good record cleaning brush and use it prior to each play.
• Invest in a quality residue-free record cleaning system. Use it after every few
plays or as needed.
• Always place your records back in their protective sleeves immediately after
each use. Never leave them laying around unprotected.
• Always store your records vertically, and away from heat and sunlight.
• Whenever possible, use the arm lift (a.k.a. cueing lever) to gently raise and
lower the stylus to the record surface.
• Clean the stylus regularly using a soft brush, or by blowing on it. Always brush
from back to front. NEVER brush from side to side or front to back or the stylus
will be damaged.
• Never play a record with a bent, misaligned, or damaged stylus as this can
permanently damage your record.
