I use a Dustbuster after each side, but gently.

I'm saying after a few days but that is I don't always play records as I have a lot of music on CD. I do use a record brush before playing a record (both sides) and I store my vinyl right back in the sleeve after playing them (98% of the time) I'm always surprised how much dirt there is after brushing even though most times I put the records back in their sleeves right after playing them. It just goes to show how much dust is in the air. I should get into the habit of giving the record a clean before I put them back in the sleeve. I do clean the stylus after each side when I 1st get a new record but again I should get into the habit in giving them a wet clean before playing.

beware the VP DustBuster gel type cleaners.
They break down after a while & start depositing crud on the stylus Avoid

Is the pursuit High Fidelity a sign of mental illness??

Try the Audio Technica AT6012 record cleaning kit.
I have one, and find that my stylus doesn't accumulate anything like the same amount of crud as it used to. Edited by Chris Firth - 15 Aug 2021 at 7:55pm |

I have had this type cleaner for years now and have not found this to be the case. I do wash it from time to time so may be this has prolong the stuff I use. the Onzow I use I have had it for about 3 years now and have not had a problem with it. I'm not saying it will last for ever.

Echoing Jon's comments I clean my Dustbusters when there are any fluff spots, that is to say the stuff they clean off my styluses. Not seen or heard any gunk build up and I've used them for a few years now.

I clean my dustbuster under warm running warm water when there is a bit of crud on them.
But I also replace ever couple of years as well , I am sure the VP guy suggested every year when I asked it asked him about it at a HiFi show. Edited by ServerBaboon - 16 Aug 2021 at 7:01pm |
