No, I give it to my daughter - it's easier to get crap off a ropey old Shure MM ! (...ahem)
When she's done the heavy ploughing, I go in her room when she's out & hook it back!!

I'm not saying that they cause any damage it's just that I have found them more effective in 'manual mode' than vibrating. Though I would concede that the vibrating mode is good fun.Originally Posted by Marco
Hi Dave,
Snapper's used one of the ATs for years without incident, and he's got around 7000 records
I also know others who've used them with great success, so I doubt I'll be losing any sleep over the risk of vibrating the diamonds off the end of styli...
Besides, £73 is much better than the £180 reported that some folk have paid!
Marco.
If a potential buyer is put off by the high cost, Lyra do a small carbon pad, similar to the AT etc. It is manual and a fraction of the cost.

Well it arrived today from the seller (audio-classique in Shrewsbury), whom I must say was superb to deal with, and it's in immaculate condition and working perfectly.
It was definitely worth the £73 I paid!
Now all I need is one of those NOS 'VU meter'-type Technics stylus pressure gauges...

What you really, really need, is a Transcriptor/Michell bubble stylus gauge with all those little pieces of brass to balance on the end. Absolutely stunning retro styling and accurate (apparently) to 100th of a gram.Well it arrived today from the seller (audio-classique in Shrewsbury), whom I must say was superb to deal with, and it's in immaculate condition and working perfectly.

I use a couple of drops of the AT stylus cleaner on my AT-637 for an occasional proper clean. Otherwise, I leave the stylus well alone.

If only I knew how. I'm 'analogue' through and through and such things are waaaay beyond my expertise.
It's in the turntable spares/accessories section.
