## Description

DS Audio ST-50 Drop-in Micro-Dust/Cleaning-Gel Stylus Cleaner

Review: Simply the Best to Protect Your Investment - I have tried most of the gel-based cleaners available and this is the one to get. First, a bit about DS Audio. Their business is in manufacturing optical-engine phono cartridges which need the stylus to be consistently clean after each side. This is their solution, and it really works without risking your delicate cartridge. Now one can argue they spent too much on the case versus its contents and thus the high price. I can’t comment on value, except to say this is a one-time purchase and if you’ve spent several hundred to several thousand on your cartridge, ensuring the extra life and enjoyment our of it this is worth a try. As to why it is different than the competition, it has several advantages. First it is shallow which make using it with all types of turntables, even automatic ones, easy and very safe. Second, it is not as gelatinous as others. Only the very tip of the stylus penetrates the surface yet it is entirely effective. Others I have found are too soft and can close around the stylus resulting in the potential to stress or over-extend the suspension over time when lifting the arm clear. The very cheap ones suffer also from being able to flow which can leave residue especially if your ambient temperature is above 80 deg. Finally, it is easier to clean as it has better integrity and the particles to not get as deeply embedded. Overall, it could have been made for less with a cheaper case; however, in the absence of the identical urethane gel from another vendor, this is the one to get knowing you’ll only buy it once.
Review: Works well but is way overpriced - Would have bought a less expensive item if I had realized it was available when I ordered this one

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There only way I clean a Koetsu
*by C***N on February 17, 2023*

I have been a Koetsu cartridge user for 20+ years. My current cartridge is the Onyx Platinum stone body. These cartridges cost $11,000 so cleaning them requires something that does the job but doesn't damage the stylus or the suspension. I have tried many ways of cleaning stylus over the years and wet cleaners are a definite NO. Alcohol and rubber never mix and the cantilever can act as a pipette and suck alcohol all the way back to the suspension, resulting in premature wear. I'm also not a fan of abrasive cleaners so no sandpaper or ultrasonics for me either - they both wear the stylus unnecessarily. Until I found the ST-50, I just used a Last stylus brush, but that involves bringing the brush through the stylus from back to front with the risk of damaging something. The ST-50 is benign. I let the stylus sit on it for a good 5 minutes and then remove, doing this 3 times to give it a clean before a listening session. I clean my records with a degritter ultrasonic cleaner before playing, so I never need to clean the stylus again during a listening session. When the ST-50 gets cruddy, it's an easy job to wash it in distilled water and leave it out to dry in the air. It is an excellent product and the only one I trust.
