Hi. If how can you tell if a scratch on vinyl records is going to mess up the sound, like on a used vinyl.

Great question. There’s no real way of knowing without playing a record, of course, but there’s a few things you can keep in mind when buying a used record with a scratch or two.

Generally speaking, phonograph needles get most of their audio information from the bottom and near-bottom of a record groove. As a result, surface blemishes - those faint scrapes you might see that come from pulling a record out of a sleeve - are usually not audible. The same goes for slightly bigger scratches caused by grit in the sleeve (blow the grit out of the sleeve with your mouth or compressed air, or replace the sleeve). Obviously, the deeper the scratch, the more audible it will be, so a record with a big cut across it is not worth the money, even if it’s only a dollar.

Some old-school vinyl collectors will say that a scratched record is “skated.” That means a needle was knocked across a number of tracks, gouging a big arc across the record in a way that resembles the mark an ice skate would leave on an ice rink.

While you can’t do anything to fix a scratch, it’s actually pretty easy to avoid making scratches. Don’t drop the needle in the middle of a record next to your favorite track, just in case it bounces and skates your record. Instead, use the tone arm lever near the base of your tone arm to gently lower and raise the needle. Clean your records before you play them with a proper record brush like a Hunt; some people clean records after they play them, too, before putting them back in the sleeve. And whatever you do, don’t leave your vinyl lying around without a sleeve on it - that’s just begging for it to get banged into, fall over, etc. and get scratched.

Hey I don't understand all this dmab fab stuff going on. Like I'm really confused. I thought it was like male fabulous or something and then I saw other variations and they didn't make sense. Could you explain it,please?

DMAB/AMAB and DFAB/AFAB mean designated/assigned male at birth, and designated/assigned female at birth respectively. It refers to what the doctors said you were when you were born.- Ramona

Could you explain a little bit about "rebound" from medications? Can it happen with adderall rx? I may when I first stared it, I got really depressed at night and then was fine when I woke up the next morning.

Yes, it can happen with any stimulant medication. Basically what happens is that when the medication is out of your system, your brain doesn’t quite know what to do with itself anymore and it goes back to the way it naturally functions. This can cause depression and/or irritability because all of a sudden your brain is having trouble with stuff it was doing fine with all day. That’s why a small dose of a short-acting medication can often be helpful, to get you over that hump. It’s great that yours got better over time!

Rebound can also happen on a larger scale, when you stop taking your medication completely. Then you might feel like your symptoms have come back fifty times as bad as they ever were before, even though they haven’t really. This usually dissipates within a week, though sometimes it can take longer. This rebound is different from the kind of side effects that happen when you taper off and stop taking things like antidepressants or Strattera because those medications maintain a steady level in your system and stimulants don’t.
