When your supposed US stylus cleaner is in operation, do you hear a hum or buzz? If so, it’s probably operating within the audible range of frequencies, not really US. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. IMO, it’s actually safer. Most operate below 1000 Hz.

The Amazon ad doesn’t miss a trick. It’s a liquid cleaner with a brush. It also includes an”ultrasonic” cleaner with a UV light, What could go wrong?

Actually, PL warned a friend of mine who regularly posts on VA that ME leaves tangled fibriles on the stylus and cantilever. PL observed this on a cartridge my friend sent to him for evaluation. I use it nevertheless because I don't see the problem when I examine my cartridges under a microscope.

If you're old enough to have seen the Woody Allen movie "Sleeper", these shattering tidbits are reminiscent of the first scene of the movie, when Woody wakes up in a hospital (I think) after 200 years of suspended animation, to find that steak and eggs are health foods.  Actually, since that movie was filmed, eggs have been rehabilitated.

You do have to wonder when a warning comes from one company about using the products of another company in the same field of endeavor.  Albeit, Wally tools do not market a competing stylus cleaner, so far as I know.  If, in fact, they do, then all bets are off.
