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.
A $349 record brush
In the current Absolute Sound Product of the Year section. They picked the Ramar Record Brush No. 1. Seems like most of the cost is a result of the wood casing. Claims it can get every single atom of dust. I thought my Hunt EDA Mark 6 was expensive. Anyone getting this under the Christmas Tree??

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! |
https://www.analogplanet.com/content/big-dust This links Michael Fremer 's article comparaing the efficacy of several vinyl record brushes. The two that won his very un-scientific survey were brushes from Hart Audio ( Under US$100 ) and the Ramar. But it does appear that there are big differences in cleaning abilities. It was this article that launch the Ramar brand. On a seprarte video which I cannot find, the owner of Ramar, Rangel Vasev, bumped into Fremer in the corriodor of Munich Hi Fi show. He thanked Michael for allowing him to quit his daytime job and attend to his small business full time. I had always associated Ramar with this video which I can't find. A young entrepreneur fulfilling his dream .... What's wrong with that? |
