Is the stylus dirty?

The Scout is down for repair.

For the next few days, I will be using the Technics SL1200 which I had stored and wonder if the Ortofon MC-1 is dirty.

How much magnification do you use to examine your stylus? And what indicates the stylus needs to be cleaned?

I can tell you that even if you do not own a higher powered microscope to see the grung on your stylus, you certainly can hear it. I've converted many of my audio buddies just by taking my bottle of LP#9 along with me when I've gone over to enjoy music with them. It's well worth the $25.

Ach! Larry @ Hollywood Sound! He indeed is a very nice chap! When I lived in suburban Ft. Lauderdale, I bought my MMF5 from him. I requested him to put RCA jacks on the MMF5 & he did a splendid, clean & real pro job! I'd buy again from him any time! Also spent many hours in his shop talking analog - real goldmine of info.

Does somebody know a cheap source for the Zerodust, i.e. below $69?

Thanks, Robert
