Did I damage my cartridge?


I had purchased a zerodust stylus cleaner. The first few times of use went ok. Now I seem to have a fuzz added that is bothering the hell out of me. I can only assume that maybe I applied too much pressure during a cleaning and could have possibly damaged something. I have tried to clean again and tried many different LP's with the same results. There is a fuzz to the music. My GOD what did I do???
Any Ideas?

I was under the understanding that only the tracking pressure was to be applied. Or let the tonearm rest on the cleaner. If you put pressure on the cartridge beyond the tracking force, I would say you forced the cantilever out alignment with the coils. If that is so, then whoops is not enough. Good luck!
Good to hear, you might contact the manufacturer and tell them of your experience and let them know this may have been a lack of good instructions included with the product.
