Detailed Description

Design and Materials

The Ortofon Stylus Brush Fiber is constructed with fine, soft bristles made of specialized fibers that are gentle on the stylus. These fibers are selected for their ability to effectively remove dust and dirt without causing scratches or other damage to the stylus tip or the cantilever. The brush is compact, making it easy to maneuver around the stylus, even in tight spaces.

Cleaning Method

The brush is designed for use in a specific manner to ensure the safety of the stylus. Users are instructed to brush along the cantilever in the direction of the stylus tip, starting from the rear of the cartridge. This directional cleaning method prevents the brush from catching the stylus and potentially causing damage. The brush should never be used side-to-side or from the stylus tip toward the rear of the cartridge, as this could lead to misalignment or breakage.

Maintenance and Care

Regular use of the Ortofon Stylus Brush Fiber can reduce the need for more intensive stylus cleaning. By using the brush whenever a new record is played or a side is changed, users can maintain the cleanliness of the stylus and ensure optimal performance. The brush itself requires minimal maintenance; occasional cleaning of the bristles may be needed to remove accumulated dust.
