Personally; I would be hesitant to use a q-tip on my expensive stylus. The fibres tend to wrap around the tip and could cause damage. I would spend the 8 bucks for a stylus brush from needledoctor or one of the other sites that deal with turntables. They also carry Disc Doctors Record Cleaner which is what the Library Of Congress uses on their records. It is very inexpensive and easy to use and made specifically for records. There is some anecdotal evidence that Isopropyl alchohol can leach out the stabilisers in the vinyl and cause surface noise. Regular dish soap can do that also. If you value your albums,(and they are the most expensive part of your stereo) then I would spend the twenty bucks to do it right. Elusive Disc is another site that carries this stuff. Good Luck, J.R.
