I bought a Knosti manual record cleaner many years ago and still use it regularly with satisfaction. I may move to an ultrasonic machine in the future; it could be my next gadget.peelaaa wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 7:43 pm Is it a gadget or not?, who knows but I use a magic eraser for removing dirt/dust from the stylus. Reading Cybot post above, the dust buster could be an alternative I may try.
I also use a disco anti-stat record cleaner. Great results from this, using the supplied liquid.
I have one of those ancient Audio Technica AT-637‘s too. Use it once in a blue moon. It’s really effective and safe too. The digital stylus balance is worth its weight in dru…..I mean gold :)JAW wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:18 pm A couple of things I bought from an ex member, Andy S before he went to Spain. A digital stylus balance, (my wife thought that I was going to start dealing drugs!), a carbon fibre record cleaning brush and a Audio Technica AT-637 ultrasonic stylus cleaner. I was a little worried about using stylus cleaner at first in case it damaged the stylus tip, but I've been using it for a few years now and no damage so far. Oh, and it's very good!
The other thing which I find excellent is an Arcam Wireless RDac for streaming from the laptop to the system.
