Stylus cleaning.

[bob orbell]

How often do you clean your cartridge stylus? as some members will know, I use a Ortofon Kontrapunkt B, I also play a lot of records, however, for the past three months or more, I have been experiencing a lot of very annoying sibilance, thinking that the stylus was coming to the end of it's life, the cartridge was removed for inspection, what I saw through the magnifier was loads of crud, it was just like a tree branch with frost on it, a good clean with a stiff carbon brush and IPA followed by a soft brush to clean the cantilever has returned the sound back to normal, I think that I am going to run the brush over the stylus at least once a week. What do others do?. BOB
