Every stylus accumulates hours. Every cleaning matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResearch published in 1954 found that complete removal of dust and grit from record grooves can extend the useful life of both records and styli by up to 60%. At ten tonnes per square inch of stylus tip pressure, contamination in the groove is not passive — it grinds. The consequences compound invisibly, play by play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVRT turns record care from something remembered vaguely into something known, measured and managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of VRT is the Play Log.
