Dirt on my stylus.....what to do?

Rwd: Any thoughts on the "ole #9" yet ? Sean

Yes!!!! Sorry folks. I used the LP#9 on my Benz M2. "Spit & Polish"....came clean as can be. Now the real test. It is with my Helikon that I noticed some dust (dirt) on the stylus that just would not come off.....I plan to change arm tubes (with the Helikon) soon. I will report back to you all soon.
Albert, thank you again for the help.....P.S. I have not used the record cleaner you sent me, BUT...can I use it (LP Cleaner and wash) like Disc Doctor????? I use Disc Dr...first on the LP (scrub it in) remove it via Orbitrac (sorry for the misspelling) and then distilled water and then VPI ....Just like Mikey!!!!

Rwd. The Record Research fluid I sent to you works just like Disc Doctor only better, in my opinion.

I have not used the Orbitrac. I use the VPI brush, scrubbing as the VPI machine rotates the LP. Then vacuum dry. With the RR fluid, the distilled water is not necessary.

Do a test and post your results. I am interested to see which one you prefer and why.

Will do Albert!!!

BTW... I want to report that the LP #9 cleaned my stylus on my Helikon perfectly. Much better then the Last Cleaner.

Now, Albert, I will test the record cleaner.
