Do you clean the stylus?

porcy - just checked and the stuff I use is Audio-Technica AT607 'Stylus Cleaning Formula'. Got mine over here at a branch of 'Audio Excellence' (part of the Audio-T group). I reckon it should be easy to get over in Italy. If not, give me a shout.

That's the brand I have been using for years with very good results.

The amount of residue remaining on the stylus after cleaning is harmless compared to the accumulated dirt in the record grooves! A stylus needs cleaning! The professional products do not affect the glue used for the stylus tip etc.

Boy. . . I definitely don't qualify for anal compulsive!

I rarely clean/cleaned lps or styli. . . but. . . I've never really had great playback equipment.
