How do you clean your type of stylus?

IME LP#9 works much better than the jelly domes. You have to be sure a liquid cleaner is safe for your cartridge however. A few manufacturers like ZYX recommend against them, fearing liquid may wick up their hollow cantilevers and harm the suspension.

For a DIY alternative that works just as well as LP#9, but with a different set of risk factors, search for my thread, "DIY Stylus Cleaner."

Correction to previous post. Here's a link to the thread I referenced.

Record Research LP#9.

Aceto, ultrapure water is purer than RO water. RO water can go down to 5-15 uSiemens in conductivity, whereas ultrapure water is usually below 0.08 uSiemens and less than 0.35 ppb sodium and 5 ppb Silica. At such purity levels it acts like a solvent.

Doug,

I'm going to get the stuff to try this today. I just built my battery option for the Teres. Could have done it in 15 minutes if the damn Q1 transistor would have went in easy! Built a nice mahogony and copper box for it too. So, I figure I'll give your contraption a shot and see if I can get a little more perfomance from my stylus.
