    Default Recommend a good TT Antistatic brush, thats currently available please?

    As above,

    Looking to get a good one now Im back in the land of vinyl.
    Whats your suggestions Chaps?

    Read about a bit, the Audioquest one gets good write ups, but "some say" it sheds carbon fibre hairs too easy.
    Another one on the radar is the Hunt Eda 6, but again, some mixed messages.


    Thanks.

    I use the Audioquest Carbon Plate brush and it’s pretty good. Never had a problem with shedding fibre.

    I use an original Decca carbon fibre brush, the version where all the bristles are carbon fibre. Must have used it for at least a dozen years and it has never shed any of the bristles, despite being used every time I play a record.

    There is I believe a Hunts record cleaner consisting of a strip of carbon fibre bristles sandwiched between two plush velvet pads which looks to be a good option.

    I use a Hunt mate, very happy with it.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
