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 would agree.  However their advertisements states something a little different.

“Magnetic fields and static electricity can greatly affect audio and video playback equipment and source material. The Talisman temporarily dissipates magnetic fields and static electricity allowing the phono cartridge or laser reader to transmit a purer, more accurate signal. Use the Talisman to treat LPs, CDs, SACDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, and Blu Ray discs, as well as treating your audio and video cables in place!

Newest Application: Speaker Drivers
We recently began treating speakers with the Talisman with great results.”

Static charge and magnetic field are independent physical properties. They even have entirely different causes, effects and definitions and units. Lloyd was apparently over-reaching a little bit. 🤗

BTW, I got the Audioquest Carbon Conductive Brush. I've been happy with it.

I have been using the Analog Relax and the Audio Quest exclusively.  Apart from my experiment I find the results of those two satisfying.  Normally I pre-clean with the Analog Relax before playing.  Then I use the Audio Quest as a clean sweep before placing the record into it’s sleeve.
