So I would suggest that this was a rather false economy
- There was water/liquid erosion of good quality cartridge cantilevers which was irreversible and costly.
- Records that have been wet played can after a period of time become dependent on wet playing...........eg the stylus aquaplanes through the groove and as it is now free to vibrate more freely can damage complex passages due to high speed collisions with the groove wall........result accelerated wear ...........
You're recording it at the same time ! then you put the vinyl back in it's cover and never play it again. See? - simple!
