Stylus cleaner

Use magic eraser followed by a soft brush back to front. Inspect occasionally with something like this:

Pocket-Mini-60X-LED-UV-Light-Jeweler-Loupe-Magnifying-Magnifier-Glass-Microscope

No relation to seller. I have one of these and it is great to check and see if your stylus is clean.

There are plenty of threads on magic eraser here at Audiogon.

Great that the Dust Buster works. I think it is about the same as the Onzow. If you are not using a magnifier of some some type to inspect the stylus you should get one like I recommended earlier in the thread for about $10. The 60x magnification really lets you see the stylus and cantilever in detail.

Best Regards,

"So the common denominator could be Last... "
The common denominator of what?

"The Dust Buster by Vinyl Passion will arrive today so I'll check out its effectiveness... "
How will you determine the effectiveness?

It's your thread ...

If it was all that apparent I would not have asked.

Good luck and you should buy some Magic Eraser to test as well.

Here is a copy of my earlier post with a link which I hope works. If it does not work just copy the description into the search description on e-bay:

To paraphrase your comment above "Mr. Van Den Hul recommended Vodka or Last Stylus cleaner. He should know what works."

I don't disagree with his recommendation on Van Den Hul cartridges or cartridges Mr. Van Den Hul has rebuilt, however not every manufacturer uses the same cantilever/stylus attachment methods or adhesives.

I use Magic Eraser on my cartridges based on the recommendation of the distributor, who also advised never to use liquid cleaners on these cartridges. Cartridge owners should follow the manufacturer's or distributor's recommendation regarding their particular brand of cartridge.

When in doubt I would not use a liquid cleaner unless it was approved.

Marktomaras, Please post a link to the iPhone magnifier. Thanks

Did you get a magnifier?
