cleaning with VPI 16.5 and Mobile Fidelity brushes

Markd does about the same as I do. I wet the brush and apply fliud to the record as well. And the good advice here is lableing the brush. I use Walker 4 step on used and MoFi enzyme on new or some time L'art duson on some as well. I keep seperate brushes and vacuum tubes to keep from cross contanimating chemicals. One peice of advice is keep replacement pads on hand. I have had a few loosen up.
In retrospect I would have bought all Disc Doctor brushes in stead of MoFo. I like the open center as a spring like absorbsion of pressure and the pad is narrower for better application, in my opinion.

I have the Mobile Fidelity, VPI and Listener Select brushes for wet record cleaning. The Listener Select brush is hands-down the best brush to use for record cleaning. Especially since it is meant to complement the AIVS cleaning solutions. The Mobile Fidelity brush is way too "woolly," while the VPI brush, while very good quality, just too "industrial" and massive.

You can get both the AIVS and the brush at osageproducts.com and forget it. That's what I did. Plus Jim is a pleasure to deal with.

I think the correct link is www.osageaudio.com

Theo, thank you for setting me straight. It is indeed osageaudio. My apologies. It's been a long day...

I've tried both ways and prefer wetting the brush. Makes it easier for me to gauge how much fluid I'm applying. There's no right or wrong. Try both ways and use whichever works best for you.

Thanks to Actusreus for the tip on Listener Select brushes. I'll check them out.
