Title: searching for a decent anti static brush
Post by: shadowlord on April 05, 2014, 09:29:36 AM
on my main rig, i use a eickel anti static brush (carbon fibre brush) for years with good results. It gets off the surface dust and does not harm the records.
i wanted to buy one for my secondary system, but it seems most new ones are way too stiff. You actually get very small scratches from using them. :(
any suggestions for a decent brush ? (shouldn't break the bank either)

after a lot research and buying/trying 4 anti static brushes, i finally found one which works fine.
i think, its save to assume that all of the "2 row" brushes are produced at the same factory and only have different printing. No matter if its a cheap one or a more expansive brand one, the markings on the plastic parts ( from the moulds used to create them) are exactly the same. Quality control at this factory seems to be mediocre at best. 3 of my recently purchased brushes, leave surface scratches on the record. I read a lot of online reviews for all the brushes currently available, and i'm not the only one with this problem.
I don't know if the 4th brush leaves no scratches by mere luck, or due to the fact that it appears to be older stock.
