I have an LP or 2 that was bought treated with last, that although was pop and tick free, to me didn't sound good (rather dead sounding). I treated a few LP's myself with Last many years ago and can't remember the sonic effect. Of course my system (especially my front end) is far superior to today, so I'd likely better be able to discern what applying Last did sonically. I do use their stylus cleaner. I used to use the stylus preservative in an attempt to make the stylus last longer, but now I use a cart that has replaceable styli (which are only a few hundred to replace rather than a few thousand,) so I don't worry about about maximizing longevity. Of course I also don't have to worry about anything creeping up the cantilever either, so I choose to just use the stylus cleaner along with occasional Magic Eraser.
I'd rather just keep lp's clean (Audio Intelligent 1&2 with a Loricraft) and worry about the chance I may have screwed them up.
