Just had to say that I loved this so much!! I got a brush a month or so ago, will come back with brand name later - but, I was a little disappointed when I brushed an album and it just brushed the dust into a line 😂 BUT - I just read the back of the brush box the other day, and it has metal pieces on the sides that are anti-static that you are supposed to put your fingers on while brushing lol. When I used it after reading the instructions, it worked much better!
I will admit, I never knew anything about cleaning albums and didn’t know you were supposed to until I started visiting the record stores last year 😬🤣 but, also the brewery I go to vinyl night at has one of those round pad/brush things they set out with the turntables, and I’ve noticed some people use it on their albums before they play them every week.
I went back and read your post on cleaning and saved it for when I can buy some cleaning supplies! I had saved a couple of cheapish kits in my Amazon cart a while ago, but I will probably buy that stuff local.
Thank you, Kristin! Glad you enjoyed. Cleaning is tedious but important, not just to enhance the sound quality but also to preserve your records and your system in the long term. I don’t mean to brag but I do think my cleaning method is no-nonsense in that it doesn’t break the bank, doesn’t take ages and covers all the fundamentals. Of course the more time and money you have the more you can devote to cleaning but I often find frequency beats sophistication when it comes to these things. All of the products I mention are quite cheap but they work because they don’t try to reinvent the wheel. The most expensive of the ones I mention is probably the Groovewasher cleaning fluid but honestly it’s easily replaceable. The key, really, in my experience, is having a method that works and that you can stick to.
Even with the most abstruse subjects (do brushes fall into this category?), the entertainment value always pins the meter at ten.
These days, a laugh is so genuinely welcomed, so thanks for that.
Thank you so much, John! I am so glad I am able to bring a bit of humour to your corner of the world. Thanks for being here!
