I'd think the same. No stylus of mine will be going near an ultrasound cleaner.Originally Posted by struth

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

The AT 637 is advertised as an ultrasonic cleaner, whether thats true or it just vibrates at a rapid rate I don't know, but it certainly works on my cartridges, with a stroke of Stylast my needles seem to be fine, as for putting it in a jewlers ultrasonic machine? SCARY!!!

A jewellers ultrasound cleaner is a bath of water, usually with some cleaning additive, which is agitated with high frequency vibration (also sometimes heated) - it's not a good idea to immerse a cartridge in water (or any liquid) so, no, it's not a good idea to use a jewellers ultrasound cleaner on ones cartridge.

Think he was talking about a stylus. Dont fancy it personally due to the glue holding your precious tip in place being affected. The at sonic platforms are a different thing and some folk liked them. Think its been said b4 that keepingvthe stylus clean by keeping your records clean is the answer.

Imeersing the diamond would be OK, it simply carbon. The cantilever may rust and the glue fixing the diamond to the cantilever may work loose via cavitation. Personally, I'd avoid it.

You would find it difficult to immerse just the diamond - I guess it could be done but would be fiddly to set up.
