A $349 record brush

Who cares? The value is in the eye of the beholder. 

Seems I'm cheaping out with a $25 brush with 10µ tips! Mind you, that's used during wet cleaning. Once done, nothing except air from a blower brush and a diamond touches the grooves.

For those of you who have decided to eschew TAS, while I completely understand and struggle with the implications at every renewal, here is why I have continued to subscribe.  Like life itself in order to prevent vertigo we need perspective.  If having resonable discussions in forums like this one provides a grounding, then rags like TAS provide a starry eyed perspective of what might not be practical in all cases, but perhaps what is possible in a dream.  Besides Mikey Fremer is now writing there and I do like to keep track of his musings.

With respect to the $350 brush all I have to say is: Oy Veh!

But $5000.00 on a power cable is reasonable. 

I still remember buying $349 5 ml High Fidelity solutions.Yes it’s crazy.
