anti-static record cleaning arm

I used the Decca carbon fibre brush of that type years ago. It did catch dust before it could get to the stylus. I could never verify the claims made for it that it took static electricity away from the record through the ground wire provided tough. I'm certain purists and others affected by audio nervosa could very well be of the opinion that it affects speed stability, but I seriously doubt that a lightweight brush used with any decent turntable would cause such a problem.

I would stay away from cheaply made brushes of this type or anything that has a plush roller or looks to be too massive.

More like "static record cleaning arm",even worse than a carbon fibre brush.

thanks for the responses.

What is the problem with carbon fiber brushes, as I have been using one? If there is a problem I would like to know.

I have a rather sophisticated one made in France called the "Rexon C." Has gimbal/bearings on weighted base, adjustable height and counterweight, "tonearm rest," its head (replaceable) combining a carbon fiber brush and some fluffy stuff, plus a drain wire. It was a gift, so I don't now how much it cost and all the instructions are in French, but I like it a lot. Dave

Dmgrant1, carbon fibre brushes are like using a broom with out a dust pan, you can sweep it around but it is difficult to really pick it up. Most folks slowly wipe it to the side but IMHO I feel it just smears it and the dirt is not so noticeable. The wiping action also creates static that wasn't there before unless it was created the last time you used the brush. IMHO the Milty Pixall is the only dry cleaner that works.
