anti-static record cleaning arm

I used a dust bug way back when until I heard artifacts through my headphones late one night. My stylus was in a silent space between tracks, but I heard "stuff". Lifting the dust bug made the noises go away. Apparently, the bristles running in the grooves set up vibrations either in the record, or down into the plinth through the bug's arm and mount. Upon checking platter speed with a strobe, I found it also slowed rotation about as much as the stylus did. That was it...the bug got squashed.

dear Dmgrant1: I owned one from Audio Technica and the Rexon too ( btw, Dave very nice thinking device. ), both make a good job but I learn/experienced ( with out headphones ) exactly what Maya707 posted.

I can't recomended that type of audio accesories to any one that is looking for quality sound performance.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul, I just "listened" to the Rexon via both speakers and headphones and could not detect its presence. Between its tilting head and the counterweight -- I keep it at ~2g on my replinthed Lenco -- the thing does not seem to do anything except what it's supposed to. And using a KAB strobe, there's no effect on speed stability, but of course the Lenco is an idler drive TT. Dave

Dear Dave: As a fact when I detect what I posted I was using the AT device. I hope this weekend I can have a little time to test the Rexon and report on it.

Regards and enjoy the music.

hi everyone

I stumbled up on this old thread because I curious when I was at another audiophile's place and saw he had a 2nd arm on his TT that cleaning his record while it was playing.

Has anyone tried this record cleaning arm or something similar? Did it work out well?

I saw this brush as well and was thinking about using it to dust records while I was playing them as well.

Kleen Sweep Tonearm mount record cleaning brush by Duotone Company Inc.

Would it be wise to use both brushes in tandem? One right on the tonearm and then the 2nd arm after. I currently just have a RCA Disc brush that I'm using.

Thanks
