Carbon Fibre Vinyl Cleaning Brush

Not played my considerable record collection for a decade or more. Got some new decks and dropping some amens, the brush is brilliant.

Keep your vinyl in good condition, smoothly removes dust to help keep your records sounding great and lengthen the life of your stylus too

What can I say a big improvement on pre carbon fibre products OK. So since a child of 8 years I have never not been able to play vinyl 33 1/3 Rd + 45 R.p.m. as well as 78's (shellac) discs maybe I show my age (68) but with age comes a lot of experience and yes I use factory pressed & home burnt discs C.D-D.V.D & B.D.. From the earliest of times I recall a impregnated cloth marketed by E.M.I under a name that made it hard not to know who was behind the product but like all products of that type they dried out even if stored in a seal (in the days before moulded top of bag reseal action thus ceasing to do an effective job. In the early 70's a better solution arrived that would clean the disc while it played a small bottle of antistatic solution came with the device. I use two of these to this day one for each Turn Table. ( I keep 1 T.T for vinyl & one For shellac as I have a moving coil PU for shellac) which does a real good job backed up with a felt type of pad with short supposedly microfibres to deep clean microgroove disc's. I was never totally happy with the pad used wet or dry I never felt it was really doing a total job. The day before the review product arrived I played a L.P vinyl by the Shadows , having duly cleaned it prior to playing with the method which over the years I have found both the cheapest & simplest way of eradicating dust & static charge. The disc plays to The end of the last but one track and in the silent grove between the last track on disc & the track just played I heard a almost thunder clap from the disc I thought oh what damage might that have done to the diamond. Being busy at the time I stored the disc in its sleeves -1 Paper-2 art printed card & -3 outer PVC plastic. So today I thought I would see if the review product could work some kind of magic removing what ever had been the cause of the fireworks the day before. I simply did as recommended on the review products packaging so far as cleaning a disc prior to playing. I played the same side that the day before had let rip. The disc finished; where had the fire cracker gone? only the normal sounds in the run out to the discs end. the deck lifts the arm shutting of the motor as normal. How nice I thought; wow will I be able to clean all the inter track near silent places on the disc I'm thinking. So I gave it a go and yes while not 100% silent a improvement was detectable after just a half minute at each inter track location which I hope with repeated use of the review product will progressively improve over time. So I now await the arrival of the matching antistatic cleaning pad much like the velvet pad I had in the past. So I noted that a device similar to the cleaning whilst playing device is offered on web site will I replace my ancient devices ( RIP Cecil B Watts) or go the whole hog and get the powered machine for real deep disc cleaning I don't know yet.

Does the job i wanted it for.

Easy to use. Neat bar to wipe dust off the brush. I usually find there's still dust on the stylus after playing.

Nice little carbon fibre brush really does the trick

Nice wee gift for any record collector

Not sure if worse or better but this is my 2nd one of these. 1st one had quite stiff hairs, new one is very soft but almost too soft imo. I assume soft is safer but does it get into grooves? Hmmmm. Will stick with velvet brush i think. It is cheap tho so not all bad
