Greg Weaver, August 1999 Soundstage Magazine:

"The winning combination here is the use of a record treated with the [LAST] Preservative, tracked by a stylus treated with Stylast. The combined enhancement of the two products on the sonic performance is quite desirable. And given that they are both purported to extend the life of both stylus and record, what's not to like?"

Peter Moncreif, IAR Hotline #21,

"Specifically, STLAST, makes your disc sound much, much cleaner (less distorted), at all frequencies. There's much less of the fuzz and hash that we've all taken for granted as part and parcel of dics reproduction lo these many years...We hear greater and more lifelike dynamics, especially on transient attacks....Music's subtleties are rendered more individually, with better intertransient silence and more lucid revelation of inner detail. We hear hall ambience information much better, and this in turn enhances all aspects of imaging. In sum, every sonic parameter that you associate with good sound is improved by STYLAST...The long term economic didvidends in extended cartridge lifetime alone make this product an instant winner. But, as wtih LAST Record Preservative, it's the sonic improvements you hear immeidately that are the magic persuader. Once you hear it, you won't be able to live without STYLAST"

Michael Fremer, July 24 1992, Goldmine Magazine

"In fact, over the last 10 or so years that I have been using Stylast, the elastomer suspension in the cartridge has dried up and gone bad from ozone in the air before the stylus has had a chance to wear out. Stylast reduces friction. That's good for both the stylus and the record."
