Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation?
@lowrider57 , It’s called Thunderon Record Brush, look for it at www.sleevecity.com Got it at 18% off on Black Friday. ……………………………. I’ve listened to several lp sides now while using the Thunderon. My usual process is to use an anti-static brush first then my Destat III before and after each side. Initially I noticed the latest Audioquest is best at picking up the smaller tiny dots of (stuff), then the Thunderon was better at picking up dust fibers or particles. Then I realized those "tiny dots" ….I’ve really never noticed before. So I got my steamer fired up to give the Thunderon a quick clean. (not saturated). This lessened the dots left behind after using it. So, one more time with my steamer. This was an additional improvement. While all of this is early on, my feeling is the Thunderon needs to be steam cleaned a few times before it will perform at it’s best. This is my initial report. The Audioquest is somewhat of a pain to use, mainly because of how close the swing out wiper attachment is mounted to it. Of coarse you can remove this. @kenrus, The last brush I used before buying the latest AQ was the DAK. www.DAKindustries.com It is identical to the HUNT. It had the fiber pad between the two outer rows of carbon fiber as well. I really didn’t find it any better than the AQ. |
another vote for the Hunt. i have several brushes including the Audiquest which is pretty popular but for me the bristles are too flimsy and it leaves dust behind nearly all the time. in contrast the Hunt which usually does a decent job but is certainly not perfect. i would like to try the "Analog Relax" but Amazon shows that it may arrive after Christmas :( There is a German brush that has been mention on this site but i cannot remember the name, i would also like to give that a try. |
