Thank you for the response. However, I have a record cleaning machine and a goat's hair brush that I use before and after I play every record. I know my records are pretty clean. The problem is the dust and debris that accumulates on my turntable and it usually ends up on my records during playing.VPI HW16.5 record cleaning machine is a solid product that will get dust and debris off your records. There are more expensive cleaning machines. I have a VPI MW-1 and a Kirmuss ultrasonic. Most cleaning machines seem to do a decent job. Autodesk, Clearaudio, Project, Oki Noki, Nitty Gritty are just a few of the brands. I’ve owned several. The one I like the best for my purposes is the MW-1. You can also clean records without a cleaning machine if you like chemical batch processes.
Get a cover. They can be custom ordered for just about anything.Thank you for the response.

I do have a dust cover for my turntableGet a cover. They can be custom ordered for just about anything.
Get high quality windows, keep them closed, and add an electrostatic precipitator to your HVAC. I did these things in one dusty location we lived, and it solved the problem. $20k for windows, $3k for HVAC mods … worked great!
I think so too! I enjoy both formats and do not have any records that skip from dust, have a few that are vey old and have scratches that pop.Are you cleaning in batches and then resleeving and storing?
Cleaning immediately before play gives best results for me. That’s why I prefer the VPI vacuum machines. It’s a two minute stop on the way from the shelf to the platter.
if you want to batch clean and store, use the MoFi archival sleeves.
If you’re doing all this, and still have issues, I doubt your problem is dust.
You can control tics and pops with a Sugar Cube, but I’m not a fan. Others like them.
@Republicoftexas69 suggested streaming in jest. He may have hit your nail on the head.
