Ignore that other guy who tells you to clean your stylus with your finger. If you have a top-of-line Shure VR-series cartridge and bend or break the tiny elliptical stylus, you're not simply out a couple of hundred bucks for a replacement. Shure no longer makes the stylus, claiming the elements are in such short supply the cost would be prohibitive. Other manufacturers' phonograph cartridges can be purchased for $2000 and up, but the biggest part of the investment is in the stylus. Lesson: treat it with respect if not reverence. The Stanton fluid seems relatively effective at keeping the stylus free of build-up and debris and is actually a small fraction of the cost of some of the truly tony brands used by the connoisseurs. It's not on the level of some of the rarest single-malt Scotches; but if you're not too good to drink Johnny Walker Red or Dewar's White Label, this is your poison.

A dirty stylus IS a problem. In the days of records, most people probably never considered the issue. It didn't really matter. Nowadays, hobbyists like myself are RECORDING their beloved songs to digital for posterity. I use 24/96 for most of my recordings. If I'm going to be recording at such a sensitive setting, listening to the same digital file over and over forever, I want the cleanest signal possible. I GruvGlide the record, let it dry, then clean my stylus and let it dry. This is provides the cleanest, slickest mechanical environment for the needle riding along a groove. There are a lot of short run designer specialty fluids out there, but this is made by Stanton for the masses. In this case, mass production equals value.
