Don't know if I am lucky or my Ortofon OM30 stylus is from planet Krypton or that I clean my LPs and stylus every time I play them or that the stylus pressure on my Technics linear TT is very light (1.5 g) but I have never have seen any kind of gunk on my stylus...The thing is, any record groove is "cleaned" by the stylus as the stylus travels through the groove, even without a liquid agent present . That's why various materials end up on the stylus.

Sounds like the scrupulous cleaning regimen you do would result in clean styli; but when you do clean stylus, what do you use?Don't know if I am lucky or my Ortofon OM30 stylus is from planet Krypton or that I clean my LPs and stylus every time I play them or that the stylus pressure on my Technics linear TT is very light (1.5 g) but I have never have seen any kind of gunk on my stylus...
Of course I make sure the LPs are cleaned thoroughly, a normal cleaning takes about three wipes and at least 6 KimWipes (2 at a time) and the really dirty ones like these last ones from Spain took way more, I even had to take one of the LPs to the kitchen sink and spray the HELL out of the fine dust with my spray bottle (I don't dare use tap water) until it was gone and the KimWipes still had traces of dust after cleaning it....
yes, you can call me ANAL! LOL!!!
hey, that's MISTER Anal to you!!! LOL!!!!Sounds like the scrupulous cleaning regimen you do would result in clean styli; but when you do clean stylus, what do you use?

NEVER!Front to back sweep?
That's what I meant actually, got directionally confused there for a secondNEVER!
Always back to front, the way vinyl moves...and always in a straight line
good question,I guess when the diamond is no longer there!OK folks, so how do you know when your stylus is starting to reach the end of it's optimal performance life?
