Tips for cleaning Zyx airy 3


I recently took my Zyx airy 3 to a friend, who looked at it under a microscope. To my horror, the diamond was covered in a ball of dirt and could not even be seen. This is despite cleaning the cartridge with zerodust and a brush every day. All my records have been cleaned by an Okki Nokki and I take great care to remove any dust before playing.
The stylus has now been cleaned and is back to normal and I have ordered a stiffer brush to clean it with.
Has anybody else had problems keeping this cartridge clean?.

You will need always something for a clean needle. there is an advice for the Magic Eraser, or Zero dust, or Lyra SPL fluid, or AT-637, or cleaning fluid from a Record Cleaning Machine or the Vibration cleaner from Air Tight or...don't worry, a Zyx is not more or less sensitive than other cartridges. When you got your solution it is done. You need to clean the stylus, otherwise your high frequency Area, tracking ability ... will suffer.
