ZeroDust still the best?


I own the ZeroDust stylus cleaner but wonder if any negative effects were known about it.

The old posts still seem to like it.

Is this cleaner undisputed? What is better?

thanks

Find a camel hair brush and clean the stylus and cantilever after an ME treatment.

Nothing works better.

I sent a cartridge back to the manufacturer recently for a tune up/inspection and was told they've never seen a cleaner "used" stylus.

ZeroDust RIP
The potential problem using the Zerodust after the ME is the microscopic abrasive particles from the ME are captured in the Zerodust. Using the Zerodust again and again only increases the chances of those particles returning to the stylus and damaging your vinyl.

Alternatively, brushing the stylus after an ME treatment causes the particles to fall harmlessly on the plinth and eliminating the chance of stylus contamination.

Zerodust RIP
Given the "tacky" character of the ZD surface, particles are much more likely to be captured there than in any brush.

Bet on that.

Zerodust RIP
