    @Gazny I haven't received it yet. I don't know if it will sound better. I keep my styli pretty clean - or at least think so. Purchased cheap USB microscope to get a closer look...

    I use a layer of blu-tack on top of a quarter. After each playback, I lower the cart down to the blu-tack. Works like a charm.

    @Merrick that’s exactly my method too. No issues or complaints.

    Peter Ledermann from Soundsmith recommends blu-tack, even for his most expensive cartridges. @luckybaer keep us posted on the ultrasonic cleaner.

    @MellowVelo I use Onzow ZeroDust, which is pretty good. Important to wash it from time to time. It is quite resilient. We'll see how the ultrasonic cleaner works!
