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, STYLAST, 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 disc 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 dividends in extended cartridge lifetime alone make this product an instant winner. But, as with LAST Record Preservative, it's the sonic improvements you hear immediately that are the magic persuader. Once you hear it, you won't be able to live without STYLAST"
