How to Grade Vinyl Records and Professional Preservation Guide

To maintain or even increase the value of your vinyl records, understanding how to grade vinyl records and the correct methods for preserving vinyl records are essential. If you plan to buy or sell used records in the future, please pay attention to the following maintenance tips:

• Always store vertically: Never stack vinyl records flat or store them at an angle. Uneven long-term pressure can cause irreversible "warping," severely affecting stylus tracking and playback quality.
• Strictly control temperature and humidity: Hong Kong's perpetually humid climate is the biggest enemy of vinyl records. It is recommended to store records in a cool, well-ventilated area, ideally maintaining indoor relative humidity between 45% - 55% to prevent mold growth on paper sleeves and moisture damage to record grooves.
• Upgrade inner and outer sleeves: Discard yellowed or moldy old paper inner sleeves and replace them with anti-static, round-bottom plastic inner sleeves; the outer sleeve should also be covered with a highly transparent, dust-proof, and scratch-resistant clear protective sleeve.
• Correct cleaning steps: Before and after each playback, use a professional carbon fiber brush to gently wipe along the grooves to remove static and floating dust. If old records you acquired have stubborn dirt accumulated, do not use alcohol or tap water to rinse; instead, entrust them to professionals equipped with ultrasonic record cleaning machines.
