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?
Use it in good health sir! I hope you find it as practical as the one I use. |
@pindac the risk of damaging a cartridge decreases when you’re using purpose built tools. Yes accidents can happen. And by using methods and tools that don’t belong anywhere near a phono cartridge you’re exponentially increasing your chances of “mangling” your cartridge. |
@lalitk I decided to return the Lepro light due to it being a liability around my components with the base that can’t be secured in place. |
