    Can anyone recommend a brush/technique for cleaning the stylus on my Super Elys cartridge? It seems like my vinyl acquisitions from yesterday were a tad dustier than they appeared. I managed to get the bulk of the gathered dust/crap off with a gentle blow but there is still a cluster of dust/fibres attached to the stylus. Any recommendations/suggestions would be welcomed.

    I use a combination, a stylus brush with IPA (as recomended by DV) - this is for cleaning of real grime.
    A Zerodust - used after every side played, these are great - a sticky polymer that you lower the stylus into and dust sticks to it and not the stylus.

    Penance, cheers for the suggestions. The Zerodust sounds like it could be the best solution since I'm concerned about shoving a brush around my stylus. Where can I get hold of one in the UK?

    I got mine from audiophilecandy @ around £30

    Not sure if any one else stocks them
