Coming Soon - Blue Horizon Record Brush

[MCRU]

Blue Horizon brought us their excellent record mat which Marco and I both use, the clean it is also a superb contact cleaner, the latest product was spikedfeet which sold completely out following an excellent review in hi-fi world and record collector, and now there is another excellent item, a record brush for a sensible price, get your orders in now as the first batch is sure to sell out, it costs less than a round of drinks so pm to get your hands on one now. £19.95 or thereabouts.

Here it is guys.

I have the same type of brush. It has served me well for years and is the best type of record brush you can own (IMHO).

Hmm, me to Dave Nothing fancy, it just states on the side "Carbon Fibre Cleaner".. It looks exactly the same though, even down to the rounded bottom corners

Mark,
Bearing in mind what Blue Horizon have produced to date, one of the best record mats next to the Oyaide (not me saying this just sales volumes prove it), clean it contact cleaner which is simply brilliant and again sells well and the new spiked feet which have sold so well the supplier cannot meet demand (following the review in record collector and hi-fi world) so it would be fair to say without even using it that the reputation of Blue Horizon will be good enough for most potential buyers to pump up 20 notes.

I have no doubt about it Dave It's just interesting that exactly the same design has been used by BH which has been about for at least 20 years. Perhaps that actually speaks volumes of it's efficacy

Probably right mate, I am waiting with baited breath to see what their new RCM is all about!

I think we're possibly missing the point, chaps...

Yes the Blue Horizon and the ubiquitous 'Carbon Fibre Cleaner' share the same plastic shell/holder, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the important bit, the bristles, are the same!

If the bristles on the BH are finer, or are made from a different material altogether, then that could make all the difference to its efficacy....

Anyway, I'm buying one to use in conjunction with my Furutech anti-static brush. I also have one of the bog standard Carbon Fibre Cleaners (which is worn out, hence why I need another one), and so will report here in due course if there is any difference between it and the BH

The thing I like and also dis-like about forums is we are all human and all have different needs and desires, another forum someone said it was too expensive, someone posted a link to a brush at 1/2 the price, its been debated at length many times and I have to laugh out loud sometimes, 2 identical looking items can perform like chalk and cheese, I know from using keith's gear already that he would not make anything that was not "right", or correction, his designer (who is german) would not make anything that was not "right".

Don't ask me to count them

It is possible that somewhere in the world there is one company making these brushes and just
customizing by adding the particular company logo (I have a Memorex one here),but don't let
that put you off ,the same thing can happen with tonearms.
