I use #9 and have used a 'scope to see how very clean it gets my stylus (which is not to say it is the ONLY way). Anyway, I have always been a bit hesitant to brush the solution directly onto the stylus with the "cap brush", fearing I would get too much on the cantilever and not wanting to "contaminate" the rest of the solution in the bottle. So, I dip the cap brush into the solution, withdraw straight up, and then let a drop of it fall on the separate brush. Then I used it to lightly draw from back to front on the stylus. Periodically, then, rinse out the brush with a bit of solution or distilled water.
How to apply LP9 stylus cleaner?
I'm an idiot. The instructions on my Record Research LP9 stylus cleaner say to use the brush at the end of the cap to apply to the stylus. And that's all it says. But the product comes with an additional, standalone, very firm bristled brush as well. Is there an unwritten step where you brush with this brush after applying the solution?
