OMG, I totally flaked by not mentioning Nordost anti static spray or my own Sonic Tonic anti static spray, both of which are more permanent or at least semi permanent solutions (no pun intended) for CDs, LPs and cables.
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. ;~)

An email I received today, states that www.partsconnexion.com has one more Destat at $259.00/free shipping. This really isn’t a recommendation, just info. If you’re in this for the LONG haul, I think it’s a good investment. The Miltys don’t last forever and at $90 a pop, if you buy three, you’ll be better off with the Destat. |
I conducted the non- scientific tissue test last night with 8 different anti static devices. They are ranked from bests to worst. Six of them are brushes as noted below. The other two devices I used in the test was the Mity Zerostat Gun and the Walker Audio Talisman. My testing method was slightly different than placing the record on the table and gliding the brush/device over the record. I held the record in my hand while using each device. The Milty Gun and the Kirmuss Brush completely eliminated the static as well as the Boundless Brush. But the Kirmuss was a bit better than the Boundless Brush. I must state that they are my newest brushes with very little use. After my initial results I blasted the 5 other devices with the Milty Gun. The performance of the brushes improved to the approximate degree of the Boundless Brush. I think my older brushes retained some level of charge as a result of more use even though they are insulators. ++1) Milty Zerostat Gun, the best. Effected both sides of the record from a one side application. 1) Kirmuss KA-B Combination Brush 2) Boundless Brush 3) Pro-Ject Brush 4) Audio Quest Brush w/gold handle 5) Analog Relax Brush 6) Walker Talisman 7) Audio-Technica Sonic Boom Brush/Pad. The Sonic Boom added static charge to the record. |
