Summary: Idiocy of the highest grade.
Comment: All you need to clean your stylus is 70% Isopropyl Alcohol from any pharmacy and a small cleaning brush, say from your electric shaver.
I have a bunch of those brushes collecting dust in my drawers. I should start my own Stylus cleaning company.
Wash the brush with hot water and soap. Dry and further degrease it using Isopropyl Alc. And then when brush is dry proceed to clean your stylus by applying small dab of alcohol on the brush.
Alternatively you can order a Specially Formulated Stylus cleaning Nectar-Performance enhancing solution that I'll be selling on Ebay for only 59.99.
It is a bargain!
These type of products solely exist for nitwit's consumption.

Summary: Precious fluid
Comment: Ignore that other guy who tells you to clean your stylus with your finger. If you have a top-of-line Shure VR-series cartridge and bend or break the tiny elliptical stylus, you're not simply out a couple of hundred bucks for a replacement. Shure no longer makes the stylus, claiming the elements are in such short supply the cost would be prohibitive. Other manufacturers' phonograph cartridges can be purchased for $2000 and up, but the biggest part of the investment is in the stylus. Lesson: treat it with respect if not reverence. The Stanton fluid seems relatively effective at keeping the stylus free of build-up and debris and is actually a small fraction of the cost of some of the truly tony brands used by the connoisseurs. It's not on the level of some of the rarest single-malt Scotches; but if you're not too good to drink Johnny Walker Red or Dewar's White Label, this is your poison.

Summary: What? You can't use your finger to get rid of dust buildup on your cartridge?
Comment: I purchased this product recently, thinking that Stanton knew more than me when it came to cleaning one's stylus.
The directions borderline on hilarious. Basically, they tell you to use their .02 brush on your stylus when build up occurs. As an option, (note: an option!) you can sqeeze a drop of their magic fluid onto the .02 brush. The brush is "carefully engineered", while the fluid is "special....that's unsurpassed at removing waxy build up".
For my money it all seems to be one gigantic waste. If I owned the Sirius III turntable by Rockport Electronics at $75,000.00, I'd probably search the net up and down for something that's not BS like this. My turntable is a Stanton STR8-80 which I love! It plays everything except 16 R.P.M., a disc speed that in my 46 years I have yet to encounter.
My suggestion for budget concience audiophiles is gently use your finger to wipe off dust build up. It's probably sacrilege to yuppie audiophiles to do this, but I have yet to ruin a cartridge, and I have been using vinyl for 40+ years (that's right, since I was 6!).
