I had tried the magic eraser before but didn't notice a difference over the brush. However with the view of the stylus through your digital microscope I will revisit using the magic eraser.
I have been using MoFi LP#9 stylus cleaner since 2006, because the store where I purchased my turntable threw it in. It is a tiny bottle, that does not list its volume. There is a brush attached to the bottle's twist off cap. If you search for images, you will see a black brush that is not attached to the bottle's twist off cap. So there is that brush, too. But the photos do not reveal the brush that is submersed in the goop. I am still on my first bottle, and it looks 95% full. It gets my stylus clean, and no harm has come to my stylus or my records. But it does have chemicals or some anti-human ingredients, because the label warns about keeping it out of your eyes and away from your mouth. It also warns to keep it away from fire, and that it could discolor some surfaces. But the label does not list what is in the soup.
I think you mentioned this one before and I do recall looking it up. If you've been using it for going on two decades I think it's safe to say you have a winner!
I bought it in the Netherlands (because I live there). In the Netherlands you can bye it at the drugstore called Kruidvat, and it's only €0,79 for 2 blocks. They call it Wonderspons. And as you showed in your video it works perfect. Thanks for the good advice.
⚠At 02:04 you stated Mr Clean Magic Eraser does not contain chemicals. Actually, it's made from Melamine, Sodium Bisulfite, and Formaldehyde💀(used to preserve dead animals; and used by funeral homes to embalm human bodies) Googleable. Also note Formaldehyde is known to cause cancer. Me personally I don't want any of those chemicals on my vinyl. (or on my skin!!)
I have the Huson Hi-Fi UV stylus cleaner and its incredible. I don't use it everytime. I use the magic eraser between records and the UV once or twice a week depending on usage.
I mistyped above.....I meant to say Ultra VIOLET stylus cleaner not ultrasonic stylus cleaner. The UV light in the Huson is just to SEE the stylus. It has nothing to do with the cleaning aspect as they imply it might. If you don't believe me, go to Audio Karma and type in Huson Hi-Fi UV stylus cleaner reviews. It does a creditable job, but not unlike all the other vibrating stylus cleaners. On the other hand, this is one stylus cleaner I have no personal experience with but hate when a feature is promoted to help 'clean' but does not.
Just ordered the Magic Eraser, appreciate the tip Rick. Dropped the Onzow as well. Instead I use the Hudson HI-FI UV stylus cleaner (outstanding), a stylus brush and the AT607a stylus cleaner occasionally. Can't emphasize enough the importance of that digital microscope.
Ordered? Where do you live where you cannot find this locally in a grocery store, hardware store, Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, Dollar Store, etc.? I can find this within a mile or two from half a dozen sources.
I learned about this "one weird trick" years ago. Before I first tried it, I used a high power loupe to get a good look at the stylus and discovered a nice ring of gunk around it (I guess I'd been a little remiss in cleaning…). I gently dipped the stylus into the Magic Eraser three times (no scrubbing or other movement) and it was absolutely spotless after that. I was instantly sold on the technique and have not only told friends about it, I've given them little blocks of ME if they didn't already own any. For several lifetime's worth of ME for $1.25 at Dollar Tree, I can't think of a reason to ever use anything else.
I have used this product several years and it does the job. Here in Sweden it's called Stain Eraser. I got 4 of them in a package for 20 SEK at Dollar Store years ago.
You keep on coming up with good videos! I've used blue tack as advocated by SoundSmith. There has been the question of whether it leaves a residue. A couple of months ago, I bought about 10 cheap styli off amazon, and want to do a fake stylus cleaning with blue tack, the Onslow thing, and anything else, then examine virgin stylus and "cleaned" styli under the my scanning electron microscope, and even to EDS/EDAX chemical analysis to check for any films. Haven't done it yet, might be a good "between the years" fun project. Stay tuned ... -- I like the Mr.Clean sponge. May also throw it under the SEM for the heck of it. Maybe with stylus embedded in it to see the scale.
@@TheJoyofVinylRecords Most likely I will post on AudioScienceReview with images etc. A sort of short scientific paper, that's what I do professionally (as a biologist).
@@danielgeiger7739 I did not know that! If you ever have a chance, check out my podcast and book "Evolution Talk". It's a science education show. The book was just published last October by Prometheus Books.
I used the Onzow too.....I think the 'breaking down' rumors and comments about leaving the residual gel on your stylus were mostly due to how they cleaned the gel. I noticed a trend of folks saying they used dishwashing fluids like Dawn to clean the gel. I believe that might have been breaking down the gel. So I used Woolite to clean it. Then I got to thinking 'Why should I even have to bother with this?' And truthfully, for the cost of the thing they should have better directions for cleaning it. So I put the stylus under like 500x magnification....I can go more but movement becomes an issue. Then I bought the brush and fluid from the GrooveWasher people. I don't remember if it's 'alcohol-free' in their literature, but they say it's safe. I don't smell any strong chemicals in it. I brush eight times, looking at the brush with a loup to see the dirt, if any, and remove it. Then under the microscope for the stylus. It does a stellar job. Yes, I did the Magic Eraser thing, but it didn't clean as well as the GrooveWasher product under the microscope. There are some expensive vibrating tools that imply they are ultrasonic but one at least I know isn't. I'm not going down that rabbit hole since the Groovewasher system works. The Magic Eraser is mildly abrasive too....something to consider and be concerned about with your stylus.
Very true on being abrasive - that's why it should only be a dip and lift. Never any back and forth. I'll check out the groovewasher stylus cleaner. Like you, I'd be concerned with any alcohol - I'll see what I can find out.
great tip and i'm excited to try it. I have a stylus brush i got from the turntable manufacturer but still can get quite a build up of fibers over the year, and twice I've had to remove it and pick things off with tweezers and a magnifying glass. Hope this helps with that
@@TheJoyofVinylRecords ok well I ran out the room to try it and while the stylus had a visible build up, the mr clean had no effect on it. The stylus brush wiped the junk off. Maybe the Eraser is better as a final step for micro particles than a full brush replacement..
Love this idea! Saw it on another channel, but it isn't one I follow, so no trust factor. I have a lot of trust in you so will definitely be checking this out! Thanks! great content as always!
I have used a magic eraser for quite a few years. A look under a microscope, jeweler's loupe, or good magnifying glass will convince you. Like any other method, you need to be mindful of only working it from back to front. And - a slow and easy touch is best.
It works great and has been used by many. If so many of the companies selling a 1/2 oz of stylus cleaner and brush for $25+ and being so greedy and ripping us off, in that they think audio and record entheuists will pay that because it is worth it are wrong. The texture of the magic eraser cleans the diamond tip, which by the way, is the hardest natural substance in the world. With the other stylus cleaning solutions, you never know if it will dissolve or loosen the bonding agent holding the stylus to the cantiliever. Look, I have a Signet stylus that I have used since 1987 in a hgih end system, and it still sounds, looks and performs flawlessly. And you do not have to clean the stylus evry time. Go 20+ hours between cleanings.............have used in broadcast and mastering operations.
I have used the magic eraser and another company’s gel (it came with a jewelers magnifying glass), however only use the gel if the eraser wasn’t enough.
I personally use a thin slice of spam. You know, that can of mystery (meat?) that's been hidden at the rear of your shelf for years (you know it's been a long time when there are NO "use by" dates stamped anywhere on the can.) Anyway, I've been told that they used a binding agent in the product that also has the property of cleaning a record stylus sparkly clean! Just try and lower your needle only a "clear" area of the stuff, avoiding the chunks of whatever that stuff is. Just kidding! Yea, I think I'll go cut me a delicious slice of Mr Clean and............clean my stylus! Great video as always! Till next time!
I'm with you! I believe the "reside behind" theory. I'm sticking with the magic eraser, and carbon fiber brush. Also "Last" makes a cleaner and a treatment available @ Music Direct. It figures I just bought a Jell one last week, oh well
I used to use a ME. I now use a Moongel damping pad. Does a better job than a ME in my experience. Moongel is used to dampen drum cymbals. Similar to the Onzow but you get a lifetime supply for under $10. Many audiophiles now use a Moongel pad.
Great video! I’ve been using the magic eraser since the beginning of Covid when I bought my first turntable for my man cave (entry level U-Turn audio) and I love it. Works great for me. I now want to upgrade my turntable and keep the u-turn audio as a secondary TT for the bedroom. Any recommendations in the 500-700 dollar price range?
Great to hear ! I use my U-Turn as a secondary TT as well. For the range your looking at, I'm a fan of Rega. The Planar 1 falls in that range. For a bit less than $800 you can go with the Planar 2.
Yes, the magic eraser works well, but the stylus has to be gently let down slowly into it, as you showed. Any extra stuff, a little blob of blue tac works, at least for me. If using a brush, just use it dry, and a couple drops of distilled water on it every once in a while, and gently brush it back to front. I personally wouldn’t use any cleaning liquids I don’t know the ingredients of, and have unfortunately lost a couple of styli that just fell out of the cantilever. This was years ago though, so lesson learned….
I've used it for awhile now, no issues on 3 stylus and it seems to be pretty effective. Just be careful when dipping it in, and only once every 20 hours or so.
Hi Rick , never heard of this one, but on your video I will give it a bash , I have been using what’s called “ the green stuff” which is basically sand paper to clean my stylus sounds friggin mad but Linn recommend it , and I have used it for many years without any diamonds falling off😢 Keep up these short insights into your musical world bud 👍 thanks Eddy
I was very skeptical when I first heard about it. It's a surprisingly effective solution. I haven't heard of the the green stuff. Is it a gel? Or literally a pad of some sort?
You should read my recent reply about that. Linn also used to recommend the Signet vibrating brush (I own one, not made anymore but others manufacture one). I am still skeptical about using that device, all that highspeed vibrating but Linn insisted it does no harm.
Correct! Definitely don’t move it back and forth. The melamine is very dense and you wouldn’t want to risk it catching and tugging on the stylus. Just lowering and lifting a couple times is enough.
Hmmmm. Very interesting. I never would have thought of this. I have a stylus brush, but I've never felt that it did a particularly good job. I've got these magic erasers around the house, so I'll slice one up and use it. They taste great with some pancake syrup too. 😂
I just did this and the needle seemed to sink too deep into the eraser, when i raised it the eraser was caught on the stylus and fell after a second. Now my records seem to sound muffled. I may be paranoid but... everyone... please. Just buy a normal stylus brush. They're like 15 bucks. Magic Eraser on your stylus? Seriously? I wish I had trusted my gut and not tried this.
These were the kind of videos that attracted me to follow your channel. Please Rick, get back to your former simple format with simple topics, clever observations and honest explanations and skip the current hi-fi audiophile reviews which are out of most viewers league anyways!
From someone who has owned cartridges in the thousands of dollar range since the mid-eighties, the green sandpaper from Linn works. Don't f^@k with any fluids period!!!!!! BluTack and Magic erasers get the fluff off, but the baked-on sh!t( upwards of 350 degrees Fahrenheit), can only be removed with an aggressive approach.
