In a recent fit of boredom I was going through my component instruction manual file recently and started to read the Linn manual for my Basik turntable. On the subject of record cleaners Linn claimed (paraphrasing here) that there is no need for them and to let the stylus itself clean out the dust, etc. from the grooves.
Granted this was probably written 20 years ago, but any followers here to that recommendation? Any truth at all to this?
