Mr Clean Eraser for Stylus Cleaning
I tried using the MCME on an old 16" transcription disc that had one side that had no grooves. It was pristine before trying the MCME. After gently wiping in a circular pattern, there were thousand of micro scratches on the surface. I would strong...

It's funny how records are still best.
Do you prefer brown gravy or cream gravy on your mashed potatoes? Which is best?It makes no difference which gravy each of us prefer. It is important that we enjoy the results. It is about the music, isn't it?By the way, I prefer brown gravy. 
Altec 604 8G questions-
No feedback? Are these not considered good enough by todays standards, or is everyone into new stuff? Either way, they sound much better than anything I have ever had, so I will just kickback and enjoy the music. 
Getting and keeping records clean................
If funds are limited, you might also do a search for a DIY RCM. You might find it will fill your needs for a long time. I built one a few weeks ago and it works very well, for very little time and money. As far as fluids, RRL (record research labs...

Anyone Tried Audiotop Stylus Cleaner?

would you bother?
I was you 12 years ago, took the plunge and have not looked back. A key word I would suggest is patience. I have a very limited budget and my system is still lo-fi but I enjoy the hell out of everything about this deal. I don't know where you live...
