Same problem with Video tapes. Both mediums were capable of
ruination by repeating play.
A good turntable would make an album last much longer.
A tracking weight of 1 gram (If I remember correctly) or less was
usually the optimum to making the album last and the quality last.

True for the first play, less and less true with each successive playing.
Even with audiophile equipment and careful handling I have played some
LPs to the point of failure.
