9 Stylus Cleaner 0.5Oz

After using this cleaner and brush, I had to review it right away! I have a new Ortofon 2m red installed and aligned professionally on my turn table; I used to think it sounded great, until I cleaned the stylus with this product. Now it sounds amazing! I have less than 100 listening hours on that cartridge so I assumed it was in great shape. It was not until I applied a small drop of this solution to the supplied brush, dragged it back to front a few times, that I realized even the newest of carts needs cleaning!I keep my records in immaculate condition(with my cleaning routine), and I could still always hear some surface noise, and I attributed it to the age or groove wear of the LP. At first needle drop It now was near silence! The new detail that It picked up was almost startling! Karen Carpenter's ever so slight lip smacking on "We've only just begun" can be heard loud and clear (this was a good thing), it was like she was in the room. All my albums now have greater range "that I heard" because the stylus was now clean and free to move within the groove and pick up in greater detail.For the size you get in this package, some may say it's expensive, and I would slightly agree. But given that a little goes a very long way, and you won't be using it as much as you might think (unless you go over board), this is an amazing value and has brought a new level of hi fidelity to my listening experience... I recommend that anyone use this cleaner and brush; follow the directions, but only remember that a little goes a long way. You will be amazed.As a little tip, use a Mr. Clean magic eraser all white, and gently lower the stylus onto it with the tone arm lift. This will remove the surface debris, and then it will be set for the cleaning. after applying a small drop of the solution to the brush, drag only from back to front (never side to side or front to back). Do this a few times and you will be amazed at your next listening session!

This stuff gives the stylus a thorough cleaning with a fraction of the effort needed for a strictly dry approach. I also expect this reduces accumulative wear and static build up.Judging by smell alone, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same stuff in the One Cleaner bottle, but hey. The bottle will last you - good value for your money 👍

this is a must have for any vinyl lover. A dirty needle is your records (and your ear's) worst nightmare. If your needle is dirty you are not getting down in the vinyl grooves where the detail is. You may as well listen to tinny MP3's if you aren't cleaning your stylus. So don't be a lazybones, clean your stylus with this stuff and your ears will thank you. Now a bit of advice, also buy a lighted magnifying loupe so that you can check out the condition of your stylus. Over cleaning is as bad as not cleaning. Yes, I know it sounds like a lot of trouble, but if you didn't care about sound you'd be listening to Beats headphones and mp3's.

Until I tried this product, I was convinced that my high-end stylus was prematurely worn and needed replacement. Turns out it was just extremely dirty, even though I always clean my records before giving them a spin.I was initially skeptical of this product, but wanted to give it a shot before shelling out on an expensive re-tip. I really couldn't be happier with the results.This product was able to restore my stylus to its factory-fresh condition. Highs that were previously distorted were rendered with fidelity, channels that would bleed were now properly separated. This product really works, and I would recommend to anyone with a decent turntable setup.

After a number of LP plays it often seems to me that something is not quite right with the sound from my system. Then after using the stylus cleaner I find that a slight dullness has been eliminated and the sound is more transparent. It's not a huge difference. In fact, it's rather subtle. But, the diffence it makes is often the difference between enjoying the music or not. Imho, in a good sound system it is well worth the price. Easy to use as well.

Does a great job cleaning & protecting my stylus

I dropped the needle too hard and thought it was damaged as it seemed to lose some fidelity but this brought it back around. I guess the needle wasn't damaged, just needed a good cleaning/lubricant. Sounds much better now, sounds great actually.

For years I used the LAST brand of stylus cleaner and was satisfied with it - only problem was its price. Then I tried the MOBILE FIDELITY equivalent and was surprised that after several weeks of using I found that it was as good as the LAST product and considerably cheaper.

Great Cleaner

Awesome product

Good product. Works.

I appears to me that stylus cleaners are all about packaging, sort of the perfume bottles of the vinyl industry. I defy anyone to tell me the before and after difference in audio quality if I use bottle "A" versus bottle "B" or even "C". I suspect they all contain varying amounts of iso propyl alcohol with a masking agent. Even the stylus brushes are more or less the same although stand to be corrected on this point.Shop around. Sometimes a book is a lot of cover
