Record cleaning brush recommendation?
 

Seems to be quite a collection at:

Any particular favourites? I had a Hunt EDA which was OK - but they're
quite pricey nowadays.

Thanks, Rob

I've used carbon fibre brushes for years, got one of these last year:

Works as well as any, they are much better than those plush pad
thingies IMO.

I was told that carbon fibre - if they aren't manufactured with rounded
ends - could damage the vinyl; anyone know if this is true?

I recall comments ages ago that bits of the carbon fibres could come out of
the brush and get stuck in the goove. But I've never used the carbon fibre
brushes and have no idea if this idea was correct. I use ye olde 'Cecil
Watts' brushes, dust bug, etc, as appropriate. I also use ye olde Zerostat
and was quite shocked pun by the price of one these days as advertised in
a recent issue of Stereophile!

Slainte,

Jim

Carbon fibre cannot be as damaging to vinyl as a stylus is?

Forget brushes, just put your vinyl in the microwave.
Boiling water is also good.
