With regard to the fluid I just apply a drop to the 637’s pad with the brush in the lid of the bottle and as soon as you turn the cleaner on it just dissipates into the pad, so the worst the stylus sees is a little slight dampness, certainly not a drop or whatever could wick-up the cantilever. The list of cartridges I’ve used it with is very long to the point I’d likely not be able to remember them all, but as a minimum; Grado F1+, Ortofon M20FL, Rega R101, Linn K9, Fidelity Research FR101, ATF5, ATOC9, AT33PTG, Lyra Lydian B, Dynavector XX1L, Ortofon MC10 Supreme, MC25FL, 540/II, 2M Black, Denon DL-103, various Shure MMs and a lot more. No idea if any of these had a glued-in stylus assembly, but certainly nothing ever fell off!
