In Reply to: Suggestions for Stylus Cleaning Fluid? posted by DevillEars on August 3, 2005 at 04:59:33:
I use the RRL stylus cleaner, LP#9 Stylus Cleaner, and then follow it up with LAST Stylast, stylus preservative.This regimen is quite effective. I sold my Benz H20 to an audiophile jeweler in NYC and he said that the stylus looked brand new under his microscope. The stylus still had its original-like polish and the diamond's shape and condition was crisp. He was just checking it for un-even wear and discovered instead that there was no visible wear!
The Benz had roughly 300-500 hours on it, yet it was in nearly new condition. The guy thought he was getting a good deal on a cartridge he could use for a few months and then trade it in for a new one. Instead, he was ecstatic to receive a cartridge that was nearly perfect for $500!
I think this speaks in volumes as to what great products LAST and RRL are!
Follow Ups:
I just use the Stylast Preservative before each side of an LP. Keeps the stylus nice and clean.

Need to be careful with that. You really shouldn't use it as a cleaner. If there's dust on it, it tends to turn it to muck and not necessarily clean it off.I use Stylast for every side of a record also, but I clean it first.
Cheers!

I seem to remember John Elison saying he used just the Stylast Preservative as well. Works for me.

YMMV, I guess :-)
Guess so. I do have a soft camel hair brush I use to brush dust bunnies and dog hair off the stylus. D.J. is about the furriest critter I ever had. Sheds like you wouldn't believe for a 25-pound furball.
