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.

The problem with the green paper is that dirt builds up around the base of the diamond where it mounts to the cantilever, therefore one needs to "edge clean" the diamond. This is a difficult and dangerous thing to do. One must "sand" around the area where the diamond mounts, one false move spells trouble. I've used it years ago but felt the stylus was not clean. I used a proper cleaner and fell off my chair over the improvement.
