I want to keep my turntable in top condition for the best sound quality. What are some best practices for maintaining and cleaning a turntable? Any specific products or techniques you recommend?

To keep your turntable in top condition, regularly dust it with a microfiber cloth, clean the stylus with a brush or special cleaning gel, and use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust from your records before playing. Additionally, ensure the turntable is on a stable, vibration-free surface, and periodically check and adjust the tracking force and alignment. For cleaning products, I recommend using a stylus cleaning brush, a carbon fiber record brush, and a gentle record cleaning solution.
