AudioQuest Anti-Static record cleaner brush

The AudioQuest brush works well and does exactly what it's advertised to do. As long as you're only removing dust (and the record doesn't need a deeper cleaning) you'll be in great shape with this. I especially like the swiveling handle that cleans the bristles! You never have to touch them with your hand at all! I'd recommend this brush to anyone who desires to care for and preserve their vinyl. Use it before every play, both sides, and you'll be pleased.

Works, great, worth the money. It takes dust off even records that look pretty clean.

I recently got a turntable in order to listen to my Dad's old records from the 60's-70's and also to start a collection of my own, after the first spin of a few classics (Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, The Doors first album, Led Zeppelin 4, etc..) I nearly got so frustrated that I was about to give up on the old LP's all together due to so many songs skipping, and the plethora of pops and cracks. I decided to do a little research and found this Gem of a tool, ordered it a few days ago and just received it earlier tonight. After washing the records with some light dish soap and water and a soft towel, I used the brush to get into the grooves and get the 40+ years of dust out of them. THIS BRUSH IS AMAZING!! I cleaned about 8 records tonight and I was amazed at all of the dust that was on the bristles after each cleaning. This brush helped make the old LP's sounds like new, there was a Jimmy Hendrix record that sounded brand new, practically no unwanted noise what so ever. BUY THIS BRUSH IF YOU ARE A LP ENTHUSIAST/ COLLECTOR, AUDIOPHILE OR DJ. This brush is worth far more than the $20.00, do it!!

This brush is amazing. I thought it was going to be hard fibers which I wondered how would they not scratch the record. Actually the fibers are super soft and they dig out dirt I didn't even know was on my records. Even old records once passed over with the brush are shining like new, that's how good this brush is.

This product cleans dusty LP records well, but should not be suggested for really dirty records.

Well, I ordered this product based on the good reviews that it had accumulated. However, my brush immediatley shed bristles all over the record, lodging them all over the LP and in the grooves. Terrible product in my experience, and I think one of my favorite records is now ruined.

This product works great, just like a similar one I had years ago. Removes all the static-filled dust and junk from the record.

Well I bought this just because dust is everywhere and tends to collect on my vinyls. The first time I used it I took out an old jazz album that was pretty dusty, and surprisingly it picked up a lot of stuff! I then got a newer vinyl that is kept very clean (yet had a little dust on it) just to see how it works with that. After a few spins, it seemed to collect like 97% of the dust! The design is nice, but it could have been made out of metal or something. Still it works great, and I use it all the time (sometimes on my computer screen too). I hate you dust...

At this price, I would have expected more from the product, especially considering it loses (micro thin hair like) bristles easily, which can be difficult to remove from the record using the brush itself.

I bought this same brush under a different name at a local record store for 10 dollars. It works as good as any brush. Like it has been said you push it with the bristles facing towards the driection your pushing to get all most of the dust out.

The AudioQuest LP record cleaner brush does an excellent job of dry cleaning records and also reduces static levels. Previously used the Discwasher brush and liquid cleaner system along with a pizo-electric antistatic "gun" to accomplish the same tasks. AudioQuest's brush is quicker and easier to use and accomplishes both tasks with one product. If your records have not been well maintained, you probably will need a product that includes a cleaning solution to get satisfactory results.

I got this to clean my records prior to digitizing with a USB turntable. First I used a swiffer duster to get most of the dust off, followed by a couple of passes with the Audioquest.

If you are not careful the metal holder can scratch your record, the brush has very soft carbon fibers, if you apply too much pressure they will just bend and the metal will make contact with the record and you could end up scratching your record. I am giving it 3 stars because its not ergonomic, you have to hold it straight or else you will make metal contact with the record surface.

This brush does what it is supposed to do. However, when compared to competing products I feel it is over-priced. I really prefer the older DiscWasher cleaning system. However, since the latest DiscWasher brush is now made in China from cheap materials it is useless.

The brush works fine, it does what it's supposed to do- although I wish it was heavier. While it works alright, the brush just doesn't feel like great quality, it feels light and plastic-y. It works though, a little tedious to get the dust off but it does the job.

As has been said, this brush is not for cleaning dirty records! If you have dirty LPs, you need to clean them first with something else. There are products for that, this isn't one of them. This is for your clean vinyl to brush before and after playing. The carbon fiber bristles are dust magnets and will pick up anything from cat hair to very small dust -- and it does it extremely well. This keeps clean vinyl -- clean. In that regard it's simply excellent! I am a very happy user!

There isn't much to say about this brush. It'll do what you need it to do. It's also great for cleaning off lcd computer monitors and tv screens.

This is a must have for LP enthusiasts. Sure I have a Nitty Gritty cleaning machine and a plethora of other equipment to clean and maintain my records. This little jewel, however, is a necessity for a quick dust off here and there before playing. It cleanly and efficiently wicks dust and small particles out of the precious LP grooves. If you otherwise maintain clean records this will keep that last second dusting from interfering with your listening pleasure. Somewhat smaller than I anticipated it is nevertheless a great size for sweeping the moving LP surface and the bristle guard/handle doubles as a very effective bristle cleaner simply by rotating it forward and back over the microfiber bristles themselves.

At it's price there is no reason for anyone who plays LPs to not own this little beauty.

This brush is really very good for its price... it catches almost all the dust and helps improve the sound of your records. Very simple and effective! Highly recommended.

I never thought I'd own an AQ product, but here I am with this nice little brush. For the record, there is no magical ground cable to reduce static (though readers aware of AQ's cables with batteries wouldn't be surprised), just a useful carbon fiber brush to get surface dust off my records. I find 4 or 5 spins prior to playing a side removes most popping very well. Can't go wrong for the price!

This brush does more or less what it says it does. It's useful for lifting stray fibers and dust off of your records, but not much more. It is certainly not a product for cleaning dirty records. The instructions are extremely vague, and one should expect to have to figure this thing out on their own. Even still, it isn't that difficult to use. The brush is a decent purchase in the end due to the fact that there isn't much else out there that could do its job.

The version I picked came with a grounding wire, claiming that using the wire in conjunction with the brush would discharge all of the electrostatic-producing snap, crackles, and pops. If you believe that, continue to do so, and maybe you'll imagine less surface noise than was the case before employing the device. Speaking more pragmatically, I've found some use for the item only when loose, conspicuous debris has collected on the surface of a vinyl disc.

This little gem is a great bargain. No brush is more effective, but you need to use it correctly.

Most importantly, if your record is dirty, do not contaminate your brush with it. You will harm both.

This brush is for new and washed records between plays.

First, hold the brush nearly perpendicular to the record surface, with a slightest of bends with the turn. Wipe the tips the long way GENTLY across a cloth. Do this with the record turning on the turntable and do not press. Twice around does the job. This pass removes any relatively large particles and cat hair.

Then, point the tips of one row AGAINST the direction of turn at a someshat acute angle, as if you were shaving off a thin slice. This does the deep groove cleaning of dust that records attract. Clean the brush as before. Notice how much is left on the cloth.

If you have dirty records, get a liquid cleaner, or at the least, purified water. But every record player needs one of these brushes. Highly recommended!

It cleans the grooves of your records perfectly, although it's a very manual task.

It leaves some static on your records, but that should be nothing to worry about.

I'm suggesting this if you have some perfectly good records that need some dusting, but don't expect it to be done quickly.

This came in the mail after I waited for three weeks. I was so surprised that it was this tiny little brush of carbon fibers with a plastic handle. It covers the width of an LP and does a good job of lifting off surface dust and grime.

I wonder if I can use this with a disc cleaning solution. I had a discwasher years ago and it was substantial with a large wooden handle- this is very small, but I'll see how it goes.
