Am I the only one thinking that resembles an act of war?

Not to worry. If you can get a step ladder for the security/waiter they can climb up and be as high as you are 😉

Ok. Then I’d try to take it step by step with information online. As you get more familiar with the topic you might get a better sense of what is important and what isn’t. And have small conversations with collectors, hi-fi stores, record stores if you get the chance.

The first thing I’d do is search the internet for "{record player brand and model} tone arm adjustment" (example Marantz 6150 tone arm adjustment) and see if you find good information.

Awesome story, thanks for sharing ☺️

It shouldn’t be necessary to clean much as long as the records are stored in their sleeves, don’t touch the record sides, and so forth.

I wouldn’t say that vinyl is fragile, but it definitely pays to take care of the records.

Tone arm adjustment is possible on a lot of record players and will make a big difference. Different pickups has different requirements for the weight on the needle. On my record player this is adjusted by a counterweight on the tone arm. Is there a local hifi-/record-shop where you can talk to someone about this?

Check to see if Qobuz has a web player. That could be a possible way to use it on Linux.

The issue with the record player sounds like it could be an issue with the arm adjustment. I specifically suspect too little weight on the needle. But be careful with adjustments as too much weight on the needle could damage both needle and record.
