Just a quick thank you for a really surprisingly effective product - your stainless steel record brush. I have been using carbon fibre brushes for 30(?) years - I am simply gobsmacked how much better your grounded brush works. Apparently a whole lot of the random record noise I have lived with was caused by static, not debris ratting around in/on the grooves. Great product. -John S.
Any other record brush you use adds sound-degrading static every time you dust the LP you’re going to play. How so? If it’s an ordinary brush, the fibers rubbing on the vinyl create static.
If it’s “anti-static” (i.e. slightly conductive), it neatly conducts your body’s static charge onto the record. The static on your LP and on your cartridge causes an almost-digital harshening
of the sound—and attracts dust. worst of all, the inevitable static created by the stylus rubbing in the groove makes each subsequent play on any LP track sound progressively worse. Think about how that screws up every set-up listening comparison you've ever done with your turntable!
The only way to eliminate the static that inevitably builds
up on the stylus and the record is to use a brush that’s highly conductive and grounded. The Phonophile Record Brush is the only such record and stylus brush available—and happens to be the gentlest, least-likely-to-scratch brush, demonstrably softer than any carbon fiber or conductive nylon bristle. Underlying this is unusual, rare technology: highly conductive, stainless steel fibers only 1/6 the diameter of a human hair and therefore ultra-soft. The handle is grounded with an 8' lightweight cord that plugs into any handy 3-prong AC socket.
Our money back guarantee applies: it’s either a softer, more effective, better sounding statickiller than any record brush you’ve tried or you get your money back.
