Edit: Then of course the record goes into a nice new inner sleeve and an outer sleeve for the jacket.

Do you guys do a light cleaning before playing them? Or do you throw them right on the turntable most of the time? I'm so impatient that I usually throw them right on but I feel like with my more expensive cart coming, maybe I should take better care and give them a cleaning before they ever touch the table. Thoughts?I have a VPI RCM and most stuff gets a spin on it before it gets a spin on the table. Occasionally I am impatient and something will hit the table first but that's mainly new stuff. If it's used, it most often gets a cleaning before the table. One of my local shops does clean all their used records before putting them out for sale so I'm comfortable just putting something from there on the table. If I feel it needs another cleaning then I'll give it one. But most used online stuff goes on the RCM first.
