Using this vinyl set is easy. Just place the LP on your turntable, gently drop the needle at the start of the track, and enjoy the beautiful music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the surface. Store the LPs vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. After each use, use a soft brush to clean the vinyl of any dust. Avoid exposing the LPs to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can damage the vinyl and affect the sound quality. If you notice any scratches on the vinyl, try using a vinyl cleaner specifically designed to reduce the impact of minor scratches. But remember, prevention is always better than cure, so handle your vinyl with care.
