Spare the cleaning solution and magic eraser while keeping a dirty stylus from getting in the way of your listening experience. Record collectors know the value of a great phono cartridge. But stylus care is paramount to ensuring each listening session gives you everything you expect. Stylus debris can destroy the experience of your record player. Even if you’ve used a record cleaner before you drop the tonearm, a fuzzy stylus needle can spoil the experience. Rather than tampering with sensitive or costly styli by hand, using liquid cleaner, a gel pad, or warm water, the Clean It carbon fiber brush from Pro-Ject clears up the dust you could only see with a magnifying glass. When it comes to stylus care, our own Jeff Coates says:“It’s not a bad idea to gently clean your stylus whenever you see a “dust comet” trailing the stylus, or every 20 plays or so to get any small particles you might not see. Remember, though, that the stylus is fragile. Don’t use a rag or the top of your finger! A soft, short bristle stylus cleaning brush should be used, and it should be pulled gently away from the front of the cartridge.”
