I remember, in re-recording old '78's, it helped to have a truncated
stylus, where the cone-shaped end of the needle had been ground back a
little way from the point. Most of the noise was in the bottom of the
grooves, where the old, dull needles had rubbed, and where the dust
and junk had collected. By contacting the grooves further up the sides,
a cleaner sound would emerge. This was decades before digital, of course,
or software for recording.

I don't know if this has any application for LP's, though, where the grooves
are so much smaller.
