Does the Linn 'green paper' seem questionable?

Linn dealers promote the use of green jeweler's paper to polish the diamond that makes record contact after every record play. Many outside of Linn circles find this ritual questionable. I would like to hear agoners comments on this. I have never felt comfortable using the stuff.

I've always used it or a small strip of 1500-2000 grit sandpaper. Works great. I give it a swipe after every album side. Still using my 15 year old Linn Arkiv, so the sandpaper method hasn't harmed anything in my case.

No worries, guys... I don't listen anywhere near that often. Probably only 2-3 hours per week. Even though it sounds fine I'm sure it is on it's last leg. I have two LP12s, and the main rig just got a new Lyra Dorian installed. I'm using the same sandpaper technique on that cart.

Headsnappin, do you use a magic eraser for the edge clean, or is that something you get done professionally?
