Vinyl records share the same limitation and can represent a limited playtime accurately. A standard 12-inch 33 RPM vinyl record can have a playtime of roughly 22 minutes per side for a total of 44 minutes. A 7-inch 45 RPM record can fit approximately 5 minutes per side for a total of 10 minutes. https://peakvinyl.com/how-often-to-clean/ Wed, 31 Jul 2019 01:02:53 -0600 https://peakvinyl.com/how-often-to-clean/ I pulled out a record today that has been in storage for a few months, and I was sorely disappointed in the amount of surface noise. To get the most of your records, cleaning your records is a must. A vinyl record should be cleaned if there is a noticeable amount of surface noise such as pops or hissing during play. It is recommended to clean any newly acquired record, new or used. https://peakvinyl.com/warping-temperature/ Sun, 28 Jul 2019 19:00:10 -0600 https://peakvinyl.com/warping-temperature/ I just recently moved to a new home, and I knew it was going to be hot. I was terrified that my vinyl collection could warp through the journey. After some research, this is what I found and what you can do to prevent warping. A typical vinyl record can start warping due to heat at a temperature of 140°F (60°C) and can melt at temperatures exceeding 212°F (100°C). Other factors, such as humidity, sunlight exposure, and improper storage, can drastically impact the resilience of a record. https://peakvinyl.com/privacy-policy/ Wed, 17 Jul 2019 23:29:19 -0600 https://peakvinyl.com/privacy-policy/ Peak Vinyl operates the https://peakvinyl.com website, which provides the SERVICE.
