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?

@lalitk ”While you can’t eliminate 100% dust particles, using a high MPR 1900 and MERV 13 rated filters in your AC / Furnace system will help pull and capture most of the air borne microparticles.”

Already on it - have been using those for years.  Still have dust in my listening room, but Winex in-room filter helps.  

As for a switching power supply for turntable light… that punched my obsession buttons also, but was too embarrassed to admit it.  I currently have zero switching supplies on my sound system circuit, and immediately thought I would have to add another lps if I got one of those lights - LOL

Not sure what lamp you’re using, but the ones I have supplied with USB wall plugs….which means I can bypass supplied USB plug and go direct into IEC outlet.

And any device like router, I have been using DC to USB cable thus eliminating the need for LPS.

@lalitk that’s pretty cool!

I have an outlet next my 2 dedicated lines that’s on a separate leg. I can plug the light into it without impacting the system.

I have not experienced any degradation to the sound from Reliable Uber light lamp powered through Leviton outlet which works essentially like a built-in USB charger with an internal SMPS, integrated into the wall receptacle itself. Thought it was worth mentioning incase anyone interested in keeping their space clutter free.
