OK, I've gone and plopped down the biggest chunk of cash for a cartridge yet, now how do I take care of this sucker? A friend once told me you should, ideally, clean a cartridge after playing each side of a record. I've been using Last Stylus Cleaner on my old MM and was wondering if MC needed something different. Each newly pressed album gets Premier sprayed and washed on the Nitty Gritty, and all new used vinyl gets a three seperate bath and vacuum before being played, and each record after that gets thoroughly dry brushed before being played, so I try to keep my vinyl as clean as possible. But what of the cartridge itself? Is a wet brush wash between sides too excessive? Please advise.

- Easy. Just apply Stylast to the stylus before each side. - HenryH 15:24:57 09/18/06 (1)
- OK. But is there a diff - blackdog 17:58:22 09/18/06 (0)
