I use Super Exstatic dry brush. No miracles, works fine for me.

I used AQ carbon fiber brush (looks the same as Audio-Technica, sleevecity, etc), but in my hands carbon fiber brushing vinyl produces sooo much static that even double-sided Scotch cannot keep felt mat on the platter when I flip the record. I preferred "Hunt E.D.A. Mark 6 Brush" (same as SuperExstatic) http://www.audioadvisor.com/mobile/prodinfo.asp?number=HUBRUSH Then I bought this beauty: http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Mapleshade-Static-Draining-Brush/productinfo/SD%2DBRUSH/ The only brush which works AND (in my hands) removes static during hot'n'dry months. I LOVE it! Cheaper, smaller, and not as ugly as the one mentioned by by Mike Fremer: https://www.musicdirect.com/store/acoustech-big-record-brush http://www.analogplanet.com/content/big-brush-three-dry-record-brushes-compared#GGFLuKZFC7bL0zOP.97 I use VPI 16.5 to clean records, totally agree with Mike F. (based on my own sad experience!) that in the long run wet brush without vacuuming is a bad idea for your collection. I also have this: https://www.amazon.com/In-The-Groove-Record-Cleaner/dp/B004MG9YYQ bought it years ago from MusicDirect but, frankly, I am afraid to use it. Packaging says "no adhesive residue" but a few Amazon reviewers disagree. |
sevs I will check it out,I used to have a 16.5 yrs back it died in a house fire :( I have a nitty 2.5 now ,and I agree I do not use a wet brush ever.I do use one when im cleaning with the gritty..Way back I used to use Last treatment on all my lps after I deep cleaned them, then only a brush but i lost all those albums over 1500 pristine lp in the fire 5000 cds so i am slowly rebuilding my collection |
