Why not brush clockwise instead of counter?
Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush
Hi all,
Since I acquired and have been using the Luxman pd441 I realized that this table has a low torque motor and the plater slows down considerably if I apply the brush with the motor running.
Which does more damage to the unit, the motor fighting the brush or the electronic being turned off and on dozens of times during a listening session? Thanks all with more experience.

I heard from a dealer who said that Fremer recommends brushing only while the record is spinning otherwise, it could scratch the record. I let the platter come up to speed and use the
Anti-Static Record Brush · AudioQuest. It's somewhat lighter than other brushes - and I gently run over the record and sweep. |
Are you kidding ? You can’t damage the motor using a brush! Even if you put heavyweight disc stabilizer and mat on top you can’t damage DD motor. Your brush in NOTHING for this direct drive motor. Low torque or high torque - you can’t stop the motor with brush if you know how to use it right. I have two LUX PD-444, this is the brush I use for ages and I never stop the platter when I use the brush. If you don’t have this brush - buy it (the label can be different). It will cost you $6-15. The best brush ever made! You don’t need a felt brush that looks like a brick with flat edges (I’ve seen some), those are for sleaning records when they are not on a turntable. Soft carbon-fiber brush is what you need. |
