Audio-Technica AT607b(EX) – Cartridge Stylus Cleaner
The Audio-Technica AT607b(EX) is a liquid stylus-cleaning solution designed to remove dust, dirt and stubborn residue from a phono cartridge stylus tip.

System Integration
The Audio-Technica AT607b(EX) is a maintenance accessory and does not form part of the turntable's electrical signal chain. It is used directly on the cartridge stylus tip to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Audio-Technica recommends moving the brush gently from the rear of the stylus toward the front, following the same direction in which the record travels beneath the stylus. Brushing backward or sideways should be avoided because improper movement can place unnecessary stress on the stylus and cartridge suspension.
