Description of BIG FUDGE Stylus Gel for Turntables

πŸ“€ IMPROVE AUDIO QUALITY IN SECONDS: Place the Stylus Gel underneath the needle, and gently lower the tonearm into the gel - repeat 2x times. There is no better way to remove dust and debris from your stylus. πŸ“€ PRESERVE THE LIFE OF YOUR NEEDLE: Cartridges wear out, especially if you're jamming to your favorite records around the clock. Cleaning your stylus in between sessions will extend the life of your cartridge (and your vinyl!) substantially. πŸ“€ USE IT FOR YEARS TO COME: Once you've discovered the magical, zerodust cleaning ability of our stylus cleaner, you'll never go back to a mere stylus brush. And you don't have to! As long as you keep it covered and out of direct sunlight, with an occasional rinse under warm water your gel will maintain its quality. πŸ“€ SAFE TO USE ON YOUR GEAR: All Big Fudge products have been extensively tested to be safe on your vinyl and record players. The stylus gel is no different. Big Fudge is a trusted brand among passionate vinyl collectors, and our reviews speak for themselves. πŸ“€ LIFETIME MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - Every customer is a happy customer - that is our motto.

Another great product from Big Fudge!

I have been buying Big Fudge products for my vinyl collection for about a year and I am very satisfied. Your new stylus cleaner is no exception. The Big Fudge Stylus Cleaner is significantly cheaper than comparable products from other manufacturers, but does the same job. I just got this and I already love it and prefer to use it as a stylus brush. A must for any audiophile.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Out of fashion

The best way to keep your stylus clean - and it's easy!

Big Fudge Stylus Gel keeps my new stylus super clean and is very easy to use. It's small, but how big do you need it to clean the pen? That way I can hold it right on the turntable next to the base of the arm. It's barely noticeable, but always there when I need it. And the price is much better than others. It's an easy choice!

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Cheap alternative to Zero Dust, however.

Seems to do its job reasonably well, but if I were to buy it again I'd probably go for the $15 Hudson as it includes a magnifying glass. If you don't care, then I highly recommend this product. As with all gel cleaners, make sure the turntable plate is NOT moving during use. I'm going to attach it to something to increase its height so I can use it without a plate. I don't want to ruin my $$ EMT/Thorens MC cartridge.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Negative impression

Gel is convex, needle is difficult to insert

Gel is convex and does not fill the container completely which means the needle cannot come into contact with the gel without it the cartridge itself also touches the container wall with gel. So this product was useless for me. However, the packaging is not easy to open without destroying it, so I have not attempted to request a refund. However, I am confident that this product will work well in applications where the needle can provide adequate contact. with jelly.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

A great way to inexpensively clean the pen

Big Fudge Stylus Cleansing Gel works great and is very easy to use. Simply dip the stylus lever (with the drop lever) in the gel a few times and it will effectively pick up all the dust and dirt that has built up on the stylus. Be sure to close tightly after cooking and keep out of direct sunlight. The instructions also say you can gently rinse it in warm water if it picks up too much dirt, so it should last quite a while. Highly recommended and significantly cheaper than the well-known needle…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

The listening experience improved immediately.

This is the first time I've bought and used a stylus gel - I can't believe I haven't done it before. On first use, the gel cleaned my stylus of invisible dirt. Playback has improved a lot more than I expected. Much fewer static clicks (which have always been a source of frustration) than before using it. I will never be without this thing from now on. For €14 that's no problem. Definitely a "must have" for anyone who listens to a lot of records.

Pros
  • πŸ“€ LIFETIME MONEY BACK GUARANTEE - Every customer happy is our motto. If for any reason our product does not perform as advertised, please contact us for a full refund. No questions were asked.
Cons
  • No auto

The gel is convex and difficult to insert into

The gel will bulge rather than fill the container completely, which means the needle cannot touch the gel without the cartridge itself also touching the wall of the gel container. So this product was useless for me. However, the packaging is not easy to open without destroying it, so I have not attempted to request a refund. However, I am confident that this product will work well in applications where the needle can provide adequate contact. with jelly.

Pros
  • with a needle. πŸ“€ SAFE FOR USE ON YOUR GEAR: All Big Fudge products have been rigorously tested for safety on vinyl records and turntables. The stylus gel is no different. Big Fudge is a brand trusted by passionate vinyl collectors and our reviews speak for themselves.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Great way to cheaply clean your needle

Big Fudge Stylus Cleansing Gel works great and is very easy to use.

Be sure to close tightly after cooking and keep out of direct sunlight. The instructions also say you can gently rinse it in warm water if it picks up too much dirt, so it should last quite a while. Highly recommended and much cheaper than known needle cleaning gels!

Pros
  • πŸ“€ SAVE YOUR NEEDLE'S LIFE: Cartridges wear out, especially when you're jamming your favorite records 24/7. Cleaning the stylus between sessions will greatly extend the life of your cartridge (and your vinyl!).
Cons
  • Rumpled
