Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation?


Agon'rs,

I'm going to put a record brush on my Christmas list. Do you have a recommendation? Why do you prefer it over other offerings? Not looking for a record cleaner, just a brush to use to get extraneous dust off of a clean record. Carbon, hair bristle, etc. What do you prefer and why? If you don't know why, but just like the way it works, that's fine too. ;~)

I've tried several brushes over the years (Hunt, Audioquest, Clearaudio,Furutech, Kinetronics).  I dislike the new Audioquest brush because it felt awkward to use. The best anti-static record brush that I've tried is from Analog Relax in Japan.

Mapleshade brush with grounding wire works nicely to eliminate static problems. Have also used Hunt, Audioquest brushes. Mapleshade is my main brush now.
Still using my Discwasher from 1970's.  Seems to work fine on direct-to-disc records as well as all others.  Not sure that is fair as my records and turntable setup haven't changed much since then either.

Cheers!
