Agreed, but with the Mr clean method, you have to use Very little force of any kind, shakey hands should dose themselves with a beta blocker! I put it in the "locked" position because of the extremely light touch involved, plus, you must use enough upward pressure to make sure the needle buries into it. I stare fixedly at the cantalever for minimum movement. Also, the eraser will ever so slightly stick to the stylus, and when you get a good clean you can almost feel the popping free of the release. This is EXTREMELY slight and can only be felt with the lightest of safecracker touches. If the eraser were to stick (hasn't happened to me) DO NOT pull it away until it pops! If you don't lock it, I'm afraid the arm would just go up with no penetration ( I use an ultra low mass black widow arm), or fly off upon release, or follow your downward movemnt until it hits the rest, etc. With the arm in its "holder" I lightly and carefully do the mr clean thing. So slight is the touch of my brush and this clean proceedure, I can perform it with the sound on and every thing fired up, with out making anyone winch! This with well over 100db efficient altecs!
Try it, you'll like it,
