Bearded stylus - Help needed


Rabshakeh

Recommended Posts

A bit of a Steve Hoffman type question here, for which I apologise.

I recently upgraded my hi fi, with a fancy new Plenar 3 with Exact cartridge. It's great. No regrets, save for one pretty major issue. The stylus picks up dust as it plays, like all styluses. This one has a little cross bar thing though, and, once it picks up the dust, it sometimes can't be dislodged. I've tried various approaches - blowing on it, using a horsehair brush gently, and the horrible DIY blu tac approach, but often it is just not possible to get the dust off it. It's a full tangle. Like a beard. This happens daily at the moment.

This is not an issue I encountered with my previous set up, which was a bit more robust and where the dust just dislodged with a blow. 

Is there any solution to this issue? I read somewhere about ultrasonic devices that can clean a stylus, and wondered whether that was the answer.

Anyway, any help much appreciated.
