RE: Stylus Gunk

I use Stylast on all my cartridges. I apply Stylast before every side of every record and I brush the stylus with Last's stiff bristle brush after each side is finished playing. The stylus remains pristinely clean at all times.

I used to remove my cartridges periodically to look at their styli under a high-powered microscope, but they always looked pristinely clean. Therefore, I've been applying Stylast religiously for 30-years and it works for me. I never have to clean the stylus with stylus cleaning solvent---only Stylast before every side of every record religiously.

Good luck,
John Elison

PS. These are actual pictures of my DL-103R and my DL-S1 styli to show you how clean they are. It's also interesting to note the difference in size. Both pictures were taken with the same magnification showing how massive the DL-103R stylus/cantilever is compared to the DL-S1.
