To Markd51's point, there have been some comments in various forums before about certain cartridge manufacturers not recommending it because "crud" could build up on the stylus, and over time, sully the cartridge internals. I believe that was mentioned on a thread here or on AA, but I do not know if it is still in existence. For what it's worth, I still use it and have not noticed any impact to cartridge performance. I just take the time to clean my stylus regularly.
