More on the Onzow Zerodust

I'm very interested in the composition of these stylus deposits, I have used Onzow and noticed similar deposits when viewing stylus with magnification.

The magnetic field is rather strong from a moving coil cartridge body and speculate this field could draw up record debris that'd likely deposit on the cantilever and elsewhere. Just my .$.02 I haven't heard anyone else add this magnetic attraction conjecture.

I doubt that there would be much in the way of ferrous debris that would be attracted by a magnet, nor would that explain why such debris would deposit on the stylus and cantilever which are NOT ferrous.  Nor would this explain why the condition is particular to use of gel-type stylus cleaner and not with other cleaners.  This appears to be some kind of chemical deposit, and one that probably changes in property when exposed to the temperature and pressure of the stylus tracking the groove (it gets burned on in the process).  

I have been practicing what is recommended by Wally Tools independent of their recommendation--mostly dry brushing to remove gross deposits, with very occasional wet cleaning with a stylus cleaner like LAST.  This has worked for me.  I don't see much crap building up on the stylus.

I don't agree with his level of paranoia. And he keeps showing the same Wallytools pics (which ARE great pics) which to me show a shocking lack of cartridge care from the USERS, not issues from the Onzow. Those big grainy particles came from buildup due to lack of proper cleaning, not some evil gel. To be fair, using Onzow alone is NOT proper cleaning.

I agree a dry brush I use Furutech brush and Lyra fluid once a month however I use Furutech brush after each side.My Transfiguration Proteus has been playing great for 4 years.
