Dirt on my stylus.....what to do?

Here'a a current ebay auction link for the extremephono.com cleaner:

Jacks,
OK, although the silly putty works fine for me (to my ear), your points are certainly worth consideration. But the question is still: Why pay $70 for zerodust when you can get silly putty for $3? You will note that www.extremephono.com describes zerodust as a polymer compound as well.

I agree 100 percent with you, Gboren. I wasn't clear enough on my first post, and wasn't singling you out. I realise that both Zerodust and Extreme's products are polymer compounds, perhaps similar to Silly Putty. In my opinion, all 3 may lead to premature cartridge failure; something I'm unwilling to chance with my various cartridges.

Hey Albert, Sean, and others who use and recommend the Record Research #9...does Music Direct still sell it? I looked and did not see it. Does anyone else sell it?

Thanks,

Music Direct still carries LP#9, so does Elusive Disc. You may also wish to check your local dealer.
