Stylast compatibility ZYX cartridges


I understand liquid lubricants and cleaners are not recommended for ZYX cartridges because their hollow cantilever will wick fluid up by capillary action. Is this correct? I have noted a clear benefit in reduction of surface noise from Stylast with my other cartridges.

Is there an acceptable way to enjoy the lubricant benefit of Stylast with ZYX?

Is there a different product I could use with this cartridge to achieve the same benefits?

Finally, is Stylast incompatible with other brands of phono cartridges?

Thanks.

I, too, have used Stylast and other liquid cleaners for many years (at least 25) without a problem. Every time I read one of these warnings I stop for a while, but always return. My current cart (Grado Reference) has had at least 4 years of heavy use duing which i've gone through at least 3 botles of Stylast. But as they say, YMMV.
