Magic Eraser for $7 bucks. Couple of dips, wipe with stylus brush-done.
Soundsmith recommends Blue Tak or similar putty.
Cantilever/stylus looks new.
Gave up on extra audiophool gadgets many moons ago.
Stylus cleaners
I used to use Onzo ZeroDust with my first few cartridges years ago. With the last two cartridges, Hana ML, I have only been using the included Hana brush for every side of LP and the MoFi LP-9 liquid stylus cleaner (I get as much fluid out of the brush by pressing it against the neck of the bottle before I clean stylus) every 3-4 records.
Onzo is collecting dust especially since the Fremer’s The Tracking Angle article.
I’ve been looking at DS Audio ST-50 but at $80 I’m not sure it will do anything better than my current cleaning methods.
What’s your stylus cleaning routine?

@tablejockey ST-50 appears to be stickier than the zerodust based on the reviews. It is also much thinner - close to thickness of an LP which makes it easier to use than the thick and puffed out zerodust. It’s definitely not cheap. |
