Are There Any Risks to Your Stylus From Using Magic Eraser


I guess I'm late to the magic eraser discovery.

I read a blog about sibilance, and it was suggested that cleaning your stylus with magic eraser, cleans so well that sibilance issues can be greatly minimized.......assuming all other factors have been optimized (SRA etc.).
However, someone mentioned that the magic eraser fibers grabbed onto the cantilever and damaged their cartridge.

I clean all my LP's before playing and use a Zerostat. It cleans the stylus "OK" but "if" the magic eraser is safe and provides better stylus cleaning, I would really like to try it.

Think it’s just you and me Mulveling.
Likewise I still use Onzow and brushes and Last fluid.
I’m more likely to damage a stylus or cantilever when swapping carts than using ME.

Yep looks that way. Thanks dude. And I agree - sadly, at the end of the day our own fingers / hands / clothing / girlfriends / wives / house cleaners pose BY FAR the biggest risk of early death to our beloved (and expensive) cartridges :( A truly rigorous cleaning regimen is BY FAR a net positive in my book.

I hear you on swapping carts. I love arms with head shells / wands, and have many head shells to try and limit the mounting / un-mounting cycles on my cartridges. Plus it’s a lot easier to safely mount on a head shell or wand on a large flat working area, rather than trying to bugger with a fixed arm mounted on the turntable.
I only recently got a table with an arm with removable Headshell and bugger what the purists say about minimizing signal connection it’s the only way to fly imho now.
Think I now have 7 Headshell with carts mounted and aligned ready to go with just a bit of fiddling with vtf and vta .

But then I also have a Rega......
But plans for that are just to mount a 2M mono and be done.
Like I said, there is always one favorite one. The others just sit in the drawer.

A few months ago I would have said, what a waste but......
I mounted my older Scheu Analog SL and must have found that sometimes elusive sweet spot of sra that has made we extremely reluctant to take it off again..... lol.
This means there are much more expensive carts sitting on headshells in my headshell keeper just looking purty.
Not gathering dust as that would be a very bad thing.......
My point was DO NOT WIPE or "scrub" or rotate with ME. Wipe with a brush or some other tool that is made for that purpose, but not with ME.  Just up and down with ME. Otherwise, I'm out.
