It was the amount of crap that was on the stylus that shocked me, especially because of the care I've taken to keep it clean. I did read somewhere that the airy 3 was a problem cartridge for picking up dust etc.
Tips for cleaning Zyx airy 3
I recently took my Zyx airy 3 to a friend, who looked at it under a microscope. To my horror, the diamond was covered in a ball of dirt and could not even be seen. This is despite cleaning the cartridge with zerodust and a brush every day. All my records have been cleaned by an Okki Nokki and I take great care to remove any dust before playing.
The stylus has now been cleaned and is back to normal and I have ordered a stiffer brush to clean it with.
Has anybody else had problems keeping this cartridge clean?.
