I recently acquired a new cartridge. In the past I have been using a few different methods to clean my stylus, including the Last stylus cleaner fluid, the Onzow Zerodust bubble cleaner, a Flux HiFi electronic ultrasonic cleaner, and now SPT treatment.
I was told by my dealer NOT to use the following and for these reasons:
1) The Onzow Zerodust...can snag the cantilever and remove it when the Onzow is newer, also tends to wear down by loosing its grip..resulting in minimal cleaning. ( apparently he has had numerous problems with this issue...and the resultant snagged cantilever!)
2) The Flux HiFi ultrasonic...the mini hairs on the brush can snag the cantilever..and again cause damage.
3) The Last stylus cleaner, will tend to migrate up the cantilever and dry out the suspension.
Thoughts on these warnings...and what are you using to clean your stylus?
So far, I am ok with the SPT treatment, but it tends to not get the stylus quite as clean as i would like.
