Stylus cleaner advice please..

Thanks for all the good info gentlemen. Those of you who use the magic eraser, would you please comment on how you physically use it? There's a youtube demo video and the guy simply drops the stylus down on the pad repeatedly then lastly moves the eraser slightly forward while in contact with the stylus. Is that how you do it as well? Thanks.

For me the "risky" method works best. I use small slices like a brush. Moving it from the back to the front.
But do some training on an old cart to get the feeling for it. Look to the stylus before and after through a magnifier. You should see the benefit.
But be carefull, carefull and more carefull

Especially on a $10,000 cartridge. No oops there :)
 
Inexpensive being a relative term here on WBF. Anything less than 5 grand I'm guessing :confused:

Gavin, I place a piece of ME on my TT platter, and use the tonearm cueing device to raise/lower the stylus so that it settles on the ME. 3 or 4 "dips" does the trick. I don't move the ME forward while in contact with the stylus...don't need a stylus replacement quite yet!
