Audio-Technica AT617a Cartridge Stylus Cleaner Grey

Incredible how effective this is in removing crud from the stylus.

Great product and does the job cleans the needle

It’s expensive for what it is, but it does do a good job of getting the fluff off your stylus. I wash it by tipping a bit of distilled water on it, then just leave it to dry for a couple of hours, and you’re good to go again. It was about £30, but I think it should last for years.

Very effective and screw lid to keep it air tight as my previous had loose lid was lost it's effectively.

Keeping an expensive stylus clean is a must. Let the weight of the cartridge do the work by lightly touching the sticky gel a couple of times. With no brush or other item touching the stylus means no potential for damaging the stylus alignment within the cartridge. When the stickiness fades just wash the gel.

I got this for a new stylus that cost quite a lot of money, so I needed something really safe to use. This is, it cleans effectively and there is no risk to your stylus.

Much better for stylus cleaning than using a brush, less chance of causing damage, works a treat.

Compact, easy to use and effective. I was surprised to find that sound quality improved (vocals in particular sound clearer) and surface noise reduced if the stylus is cleaned before each listening session. My records are mostly 30 - 40 years old but still look very clean. However there still must be dust/ dirt in the grooves which the stylus picks up. Turntable is Cambridge Audio Alva TT2.

EXCELLENT

Ero abbastanza scettico sull'effettiva efficacia di questo sistema per la pulizia stilo della testina giradischi, l'ho voluto provare solo perchè sapevo che eventualmente avrei potuto fare un reso, ma mi ha effettivamente stupito; il suono è più pulito, cristallino, in una parola ha più qualità, come quando montai per la prima volta la testina (Audio Technica AT-VM95E).

Funciona muy bien y quiata ese peculiar sonido de los discos de vinilo.

Thanks, good one

Amazing that it catches dirt on the stylus effortlessly. Much faster way of cleaning than using the stylus brush. Highly recommended.
