DS Audio ST-50 drop-in stylus cleaner with micro-dust cleaning gel. It cleans the stylus at the tracking force set on the tonearm, a fluid-free option for routine stylus upkeep.
Price range: See on Amazon
What we liked
- + Uses a micro-dust cleaning gel, a dry method that avoids putting cleaning fluid on the stylus tip
- + Cleans at the tracking force already set on the tonearm, so the stylus is cleaned under its normal playing load
- + Single-purpose drop-in cleaner that does one job and is easy to keep beside the turntable
Trade-offs
- - Priced around $80, far above the liquid and brush stylus cleaners it sits beside in this guide
- - The listing gives few details such as gel life or how many cleanings it covers, so check before buying
