Stylus cleaners

I use a US stylus cleaner, have for about a year and a half, no issues, but a black background when listen to records. 

Hummingguru S-Duo 

Blu tac is my most used. Really like the GrooveWasher stylus brush as well.

My Degritter II is currently doing the main work 

@mulveling over DS-Audio

l had a “mull over” some polymer stylus cleaner options and decided to order one.

The AudioZomba Dust Magnet (AZDM1) stylus cleaner was a quarter of the price of the DS-Audio equivalent here in the UK…. And the product arguably looks far sexier!

So I conducted the experiment. I played one side of Miles Davis “Kind Of Blue” UHQR 33RPM Analog Productions. This record was washed in the Humminguru Nova but played twice since. This is the 3rd play. 
For this test I used my Music Hall record brush to clean the vinyl, brushed the stylus with the Hana brush and played the full side. 
I then inspected the stylus and couldn’t see anything on it. Ran the Hana stylus brush 3 times. Took a picture of the stylus and used ZeroDust. It left absolutely nothing in the gel. Like zero dust(pun) 
Given that my records are all pristine and clean, I believe that a few passes of the stylus brush is all that’s needed after each play. At least in my case with most of my records. And of course periodic maintenance with stylus cleaning fluid. 
 

I’ll get the LAST stylus cleaner and stylast kit. Curious how it compares with MoFi 9. This should probably last a lifetime.
