I have used this stylus cleaner system (fluid and brush) since I first ordered one from you six years ago. I would use no other. I am currently playing LP's with a Transfiguration Temper W cartridge which is three years in service and showing no signs of either stylus wear or suspension weakening. Tonearm and turntable are Clearaudio Master Reference from early 2002, purchased second-hand from Frank Betz at Soundex Audio. This spring I sent the TQI arm to Germany for a new tonearm wand carriage mechanism, total cost a little less than $400.00. I am listening to a second-hand Capitol of Nat King Cole's "Just One of Those Things", scrubbed with The Disc Doctor's Miracle Record Cleaner on their 12" brush, and washed and vacuumed with Arrowhead distilled water in the fluid well of a VPI HW17. I feel that this is the way to go in the record and stylus cleaning department of our hobby.
