I have heard it from a record store and a hifi place that one of the best method to clean a stylus is to use blu tack. Then I come across this from the Soundsmith website (http://www.sound-smith.com/faq/how-do-i-clean-stylus-do-i-use-wet-cleaner-each-time-or-often.html)
A DRY soft brush is somewhere between good and "OK", but it is far better is to use some "Blue Stik" - this is the blue clay-like stuff you get in the hardware store stationery department that is used to stick papers and light things to the wall without damaging the wall surface. Use it just before or after every play. Squash a small ball flat onto a heavy coin - such as a quarter. Then place THAT coin on the platter. Then cue DOWN and up on the Blue-Stik several times. Be VERY care full not to DRAG the coin or turn the platter when the stylus is down on the Blue-Stik or you risk damaging the stylus or cartridge.
Has anyone tried this? I am scared to try this to my Delos or Gullwing (having broken the Gullwing once already)?!
