Anyone Still Using Zerodust


Haven’t heard anything since the original scare, but I stopped using it. I think I never had a problem because I always swipe with LP#9 between sides, as per Brooks Berdan’s advice. One recent video said Wally discovered some type of oil on the ZD. I regularly cleaned mine with dishwashing liquid, which could have removed any residue.

As a Soundsmith owner, (2 actually), Peter L came out warning of the use of Onzow, which I was using, but does highly recommend the much cheaper BluTack solution. Thus, I know have BluTack stuck to my Onzow case, and that is what I now use.

I don’t see much mention of anyone using Stylast stylus cleanser, with its very soft brush. . . 

I have a bottle of both the cleaner and treatment. I use it extremely sparingly. Maybe once every four months or so.  Use BluTak or Magic Eraser on a very consistent  basis and it should not really be necessary.

The abrasiveness is what makes it an effective cleaner. Diamond is exceptionally hard; much harder than melamine.

Yep, my buddy who is an engineer and builder at Soundsmith uses a specialized xacto knife to scrape hardened ‘gunk’ off a used diamond stylus (under high magnification) to bring back to life when possible. Doubt Magic Eraser is going to do any harm because of its abrasiveness.

He is also a huge proponent of BluTak and Magic Eraser before/after each spin.
