Onzo Zero Dust... Deflated?

Cleeds, Well said.. Thank you.

I was so pumped to get the Onzo Zero Dust. Then I read Ortofon's website which specifically said, "We do not recommend using Onzo Zero Dust on our stylus".

Benz Micro same.

Why? Must be a reason. Cantilever damage? Anyhow, now I am skittish about using it.

Peter Ledermann does not recommend it for his Soundsmith cartridges either. Which is when I switched to Blu-Tack

Well, I read the comment on Ortofon’s website. It seems their objection is that the turntable could move while the stylus is in the gel thereby damaging the cantilever. I avoid this potential disaster by placing the Zero Dust on the plinth under a pad of post-it-notes that has been adjusted to the correct height to allow the stylus to drop in via the cuing lever.

Soundsmith's website doesn't mention Zero Dust specifically, but recommends Blu-Tack and no wet cleaning. I couldn't find anything on the Micro Benz website,    

Actually @ericsch , you’re right about Benz. I wrote Benz and they told me that they never heard of the Onzo....Got that one mixed up.
What I tried doing after reading Ortofon’s site was to carefully raise up the Onzo to the stylus tip while the tonearm is locked in the holder and gently tough the stylus.

But lately, I’m just using the brush. I cut off a flat ended piece of Magic Eraser and gorilla glued it onto the end of a flat ended toothpick, but have not used it yet.
