Tips for cleaning Zyx airy 3

Yes and no.

I have accepted the fact that my Dynavector Karat will get dirty. I use an ONZOW Zero Dust stylus cleaner. I dont get worried about macro dirt accumulation - I rather leave it just like that before risking damage to the delicate unit.

Even if you keep your records clean the stylus will still accumulate dirt. The air is full of dust, soot, smoke, microscopic oil droplets, etc. Not to mention all the crap on the record that the RCM cant remove.

Dont stress about it. At least your Zyx stylus system is more "accessible" than my Karat.

search forums for post by user dougdeacon describing his Magic Eraser (ME) tweak, then do it after each side, followed by a soft brush or dip in the zerodust.

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.

Zero Dust has been dead for a while.

Lonestarsouth is wrong btw. Nobody needs to accept a dirty stylus and it's easy to keep your stylus clean with the Magic Eraser per swampwalker's post.

Continuing kudos to dougdeacon.

You will need always something for a clean needle. there is an advice for the Magic Eraser, or Zero dust, or Lyra SPL fluid, or AT-637, or cleaning fluid from a Record Cleaning Machine or the Vibration cleaner from Air Tight or...don't worry, a Zyx is not more or less sensitive than other cartridges. When you got your solution it is done. You need to clean the stylus, otherwise your high frequency Area, tracking ability ... will suffer.
