I've noticed that records in general attract a fair amount of dust. I was wondering if I could clean this off using my air compressor or if I need to purchase some type of cotton cloth. The air compressor would be easier with my setup now, but I don't know if that would be too rough on the vinyl.
I would recommend a carbon-fiber brush like the Audioquest brush for removing loose dust.
For dirt that this won't remove, I recommend the GEM Dandy, which uses high-pressure water to clean records. You might even be able to make a device like this yourself if you're handy; it's made of standard PVC parts. I now prefer this to my Nitty Gritty 1.5.
I like how Audiogon will approve this post of mine telling people to clean their records with SANDPAPER but they won't post a topic I tried to start of Corey Feldman singing John Lennon's classic Imagine.
