I use Record Research stylus cleaner, and then Stylast preservative after on the needle, which seem to create a hair ball on the needle within a 1 or 2 LP sides. This is even after VPI16.5ing my records. What gives?
That sounds odd, it might be that in a dry environment static electricity is attracing dust to the records. I use LP#9 stylus cleaner and have had no such problems.
Since we're on the subject...is there any harm in using a Disc Washer stylus cleaner DRY? I also tend to pick up dust sometimes even after cleaning with a VPI. I'm out here in the desert with EXTREMELY low humidity. Happy Tunes, all!
