"The DS ST-50 is the Ticket," Says Michael Fremer
The ST-50 Stylus cleaner from DS Audio is equipped with a micro-dust cleaning gel specially designed for laboratory clean-room applications and perfect for removing dirt, dust, and grime from your phono cartridge stylus.
The ST-50’ s cleaning gel is made of a urethane resin developed specially for the purpose of atmospheric micro-dust control in clean rooms. Extremely effective cleaning properties are required to meet the specified standards for such applications. The ST-50 gives you the very best in stylus cleaning performance.
Many stylus cleaners apply excessive force to the stylus and cantilever during the cleaning process. The DS Audio ST-50 cleans your stylus at the tracking force set on the tone arm.
"To use, simply remove the cover, carefully place it on the platter and gently lower the arm onto the pad, lifting and lowering a few times after which the stylus should be 100% dirt and dust free without the use of brushing or potentially dangerous liquids," reports Michael Fremer in his January 29, 2018 review for analogplanet.com. "If you care at all about design elegance as well as effective stylus cleaning, the DS ST-50 is the ticket."

The DS Audio ST-50 gives you the best stylus cleaning performance every time. The urethane gel is washable and re-usable. Simply rinse it gently under tap water and let it dry for 30 minutes at room temperature. Its cleaning performance will be completely renewed.
