"I've tried the Magic Eraser, but I have not had luck with it."
I don't understand. If you dip the stylus into the Magic Eraser, using the lift on your tonearm, about three times even the dirtiest stylus will be perfectly clean.
I have a microscope and have proven this to myself over and over again.
How were you using the ME?

There are times when ME doesn't work, for whatever reason. It's my daily cleaning method but I recently had a situation where ME refused to get some stubborn gunk removed (I had gotten carried away playing some thrift vinyl before cleaning it). The Zerodust in that instance proved far superior.
So, point being, you just never know.
Folks,
Thanks. I was using the Magic Eraser the way you described. Often, I get dust, and I guess lint, that the ME will not remove.
(Sometimes I call pull off large fibers with tweezers.)
I think the weight of my counter weight is correct, but I'm not sure about the anti-skate. I bought a Music Hall turntable with a cartridge
attached.
I'm not sure if a mixture with rubbing alcohol is good for a stylus.
I'm using a spin clean record cleaner.

If records are not perfectly dry when played, crud tends to build up on the stylus that can be very difficult to remove.

Dust and lint should be easily removed with a dry brush.
It's the baked on crude (baked by heat right on to the diamond itself) that stylus cleaners are made for and nothing I've found works better than the ME.
