I've used the Onzow for years on several cartridges, including two Ortofon Jubilees and an Ortofon Cadenza mono. I've found it effective and trouble free.
Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner
I ordered a Onzow ZeroDust stylus tip cleaner to use with an Ortofon Quintet Black. I'd read somewhere that certain chemicals in the product could cause the stylus tip to come loose from the
cantilever, so I sent an email to Ortofon support asking about that. This was the response:
In lieu of the Ortofon supplied stylus brush, I've been using Blu-Tack which works well. But the ZeroDust cleaner got such good reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, has anyone experienced problems using the ZeroDust product?
The ZeroDust packing has "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by ortofon" on the insert card. I sent that information to Ortofon support, who asked me for a picture of the card which I sent.I’ve heard of a few instances of the Onzow taking the stylus off because it’s very sticky. I recall a rumor where someone using on Onzow (albeit not with our cartridge) had the stylus come off at a trade show.
To be absolutely safe, I’d recommend the use of a dry brush only, as we note in the owners manual.
