Teasing the Korean Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 My Dishwasher stylus cleaning brush is ancient, and it appears that all the tiny bristles have solidified into a giant mass of gunk and dried fluid. What would you recommend, preferably that doesn't cost a fortune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I bought one of these: DS-Audio ST-50 Microdust Cleaning Gel. It seems to do the trick. Some have complained that their stylus stuck in it, but I only momentarily drop it into the gel & I've not had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 That's not gel like people put in their hair, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the rate I'm going I will die of old age before the fluid runs out. Edited May 26 by rdavenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Another vote for the audio technica cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I went with the gel solution because I've read that some liquid cleaners can break down the epoxy that is used to attach the stylus to the stylus tube. I have two Ortofon 2M Black cartridges and Ortofon specifically says to avoid cleaning the stylus with fluids. That being said, I don't know that the Audio Technica fluid is one of those fluid cleaners that does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
