I remember Linn advising users of the AT ultrasonic thingie back in its heyday, that in order to get it to work properly you needed to switch it on and leave the stylus on the pad for a minute or longer.Many stylus cleaners (including SPT) contain a lubricant. It may well be that over a period of time sufficient of it migrates up the stylus to form an accretion at the top. Maybe this is the cause of your problem? Or is the use of SPT only recent?
I recommend Disc Doctor's stylus cleaner as it has no additives such as lubricants (neither does his record cleaning fluid, again unlike some). His policy is to get the dirt off and leave the groove and stylus perfectly clean. To aid this the fluid comes with a stiff brush, used dry, to wipe off the coating that may have been formed by the use of other cleaners ( or at least did come with it - I haven't bought a replacement bottle for a few years). It is stiff enough to be recommended for that initial cleaning only.
I would try this and then quite a few passes with a softer stylus brush (there are now carbon fibre ones available) with the fluid. As always try not to get any on the cantilever.
