[78-L] Wet-playing records

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

It has been discussed here, not too long ago IIRC.

I don't know about a consensus, but I personally do not find it 
effective for vinyl. I find it damaging for lacquers, altho it may be 
effective. Problem is, after you play wet, you must from then on play 
wet to enjoy the reduced signal to noise ratio. I only do this if 
transferring a lacquer that has already been played wet and damaged. For 
shellac I have not found it to help anything, but water will, with a 
little time, damage shellac.
