Hello all, I just got into playing vinyls and after a bit of research I cleaned one of the second hand LP's I bought in a shop. I used the brush suggested on this forum with the 1 liter distilled water, isopropyl alcohol and 2 - 5 drops clean green mix. I then vacuum through a similar brush with the air reduced (normal vacuum cleaner). I really get it super clean but on the outer bit of the LP I still get pops and clicks (the first track). Does this mean that the vinyl has reached it's age and was played too much in that area? It doesn't seem to be scratched. Could I increase the tracking force to make it better?
