Carbon Fibre Vinyl Cleaning Brush

What can I say a big improvement on pre carbon fibre products OK. So since a child of 8 years I have never not been able to play vinyl 33 1/3 Rd + 45 R.p.m. as well as 78's (shellac) discs maybe I show my age (68) but with age comes a lot of experience and yes I use factory pressed & home burnt discs C.D-D.V.D & B.D.. From the earliest of times I recall a impregnated cloth marketed by E.M.I under a name that made it hard not to know who was behind the product but like all products of that type they dried out even if stored in a seal (in the days before moulded top of bag reseal action thus ceasing to do an effective job. In the early 70's a better solution arrived that would clean the disc while it played a small bottle of antistatic solution came with the device. I use two of these to this day one for each Turn Table. ( I keep 1 T.T for vinyl & one For shellac as I have a moving coil PU for shellac) which does a real good job backed up with a felt type of pad with short supposedly microfibres to deep clean microgroove disc's. I was never totally happy with the pad used wet or dry I never felt it was really doing a total job. The day before the review product arrived I played a L.P vinyl by the Shadows , having duly cleaned it prior to playing with the method which over the years I have found both the cheapest & simplest way of eradicating dust & static charge. The disc plays to The end of the last but one track and in the silent grove between the last track on disc & the track just played I heard a almost thunder clap from the disc I thought oh what damage might that have done to the diamond. Being busy at the time I stored the disc in its sleeves -1 Paper-2 art printed card & -3 outer PVC plastic. So today I thought I would see if the review product could work some kind of magic removing what ever had been the cause of the fireworks the day before. I simply did as recommended on the review products packaging so far as cleaning a disc prior to playing. I played the same side that the day before had let rip. The disc finished; where had the fire cracker gone? only the normal sounds in the run out to the discs end. the deck lifts the arm shutting of the motor as normal. How nice I thought; wow will I be able to clean all the inter track near silent places on the disc I'm thinking. So I gave it a go and yes while not 100% silent a improvement was detectable after just a half minute at each inter track location which I hope with repeated use of the review product will progressively improve over time. So I now await the arrival of the matching antistatic cleaning pad much like the velvet pad I had in the past. So I noted that a device similar to the cleaning whilst playing device is offered on web site will I replace my ancient devices ( RIP Cecil B Watts) or go the whole hog and get the powered machine for real deep disc cleaning I don't know yet.

The media could not be loaded. I use it all the time when I listen to my vinyls. It enables me to keep the sound crisp and impeccable. It's a must-have for any vinyls lover.

Works well and I prefer this to the velvet block variety of micro brush (which I also own). I generally use it each time I play a record and it does a good job of removing day to day dust and wisps. Having said that, for really dirty records (like the ones you sometimes pick up second hand) – I find I still need to clean the record using record cleaner to remove it as the brush alone won’t achieve that.All in all, an essential accompaniment to any turntable.

Does an excellent job for cleaning one's vinyl

Not played my considerable record collection for a decade or more. Got some new decks and dropping some amens, the brush is brilliant.

I bought this over other similar looking products as it was the cheapest. From the pictures, they look like the same product whether it's this for £6 or another for £16 and the reviews for all of them have the same kind of complaints of shedding bristles.Overall, this has been okay. I did my best to dislodge any loose bristles before the first use and as a result haven't had an issue with any being left on the record (tested on white vinyl). Where it could be better is that although it does sweep the dust in to a nice neat line from centre to edge, it's very difficult to remove that dust from the record and you end up shifting it outward a few grooves at a time. As part of the same order, I bought the Acc-Sees Velvet Antistatic Vinyl Brush which is much better at removing the dust from the record (although you then need a way to get the dust off the velvet brush such as a lint roller). My routine now is to use the velvet brush to remove dust and this carbon fibre one to try to remove static. If I only had one, I'd go with the Velvet brush.

It's a brush, not really much to say. It does the job of getting dust off records.

Like most people, I bought a carbon fiber brush many,many years ago. Its not something that gets worn out easily, but , that time had arrived and among the bewildering array of cleaning products available for this dying format was a brush (this brush) which was a close to my original as I could hope for, at a price I was happy with.The first few days drew criticism, the hairs were more like a stiff horsehair, a few wandered off, but it all settled down. Very possibly, my first brush did the same.. could I remember ? no...I do wonder what 'more expensive brushes would be like?' to clean my vinyl, but this brush should last until the end of my rip/archive/sell phase.Not a bad brush, if you have the extra cash try a more expensive one
