Dynavector Stylus Cleaning - dehydrated ethanol???


Dynavector recommends using dehydrated ethanol for cleaning their styli.

Is this what is in Last Stylus Cleaner or RRL #9?

Sounds like I should just break out the Everclear!

I've switched to the Mr. Clean magic eraser with excellent results. $2.00 US for a lifetime supply. Leaves no residue because it's used dry. Checking with microscope my styli have never been cleaner. I trust it with my Clearaudio Virtuoso and Dynavector Styli.
Yes, it is in the household cleaner section. It used to come in white only and they are plentiful. However, they have a new one with a blue layer on one side that contains some type of cleaner booster. You DO NOT want to use the blue side. Use the WHITE side only. I cut a sugarcube sized piece and put a toothpick into it and use it that way. I gently push the stylus into the cube (not very deep)and jiggle very carefully. Needless to say, Do not move opposite of record travel direction. Others have glued a piece onto a coin US Quarter and put it on the tt platter. Then, they use the cuing device to lower the stylus onto the white Mr. clean piece a couple of times. If you go to their website, they will mail you a package free. I was in a hurry though and bought mine at a store. There's a lot of threads about it on AA. Good Luck.
