William E. Low released this statement regarding the new Anti-Static Record Brush:
|
"Back in 1973, I became a dedicated user of the Decca Carbon Fiber Record Brush. The British Decca Brush was so wonderfully more effective than any of the wet-cloth-pad cleaners that smeared dirt around on one’s records. As often happens to truly superior products, the Decca Brush was mostly ignored — the overall record-cleaning market was dominated by cleaning pads attached to wood handles — not because they worked well, but because many hi-fi stores preferred to sell a cleaner that forced customers to come back to buy “special” fluid, again and again. After creating AudioQuest in 1980, and with the wild success of the AQ 404 phono cartridge in 1982, and because I personally used a Carbon Fiber record brush every single day — AudioQuest began making the AQ Carbon Fiber Record Brush — now a 35-year old success story, and maybe the world’s favorite way to respect and care for LPs. Except — we eventually learned that the AQ Record Brush (and every other brand of carbon Fiber brush), doesn’t have a good electrical path between the fibers and the handle, and that the print-protecting coating on the metal handle prevents a proper electrical connection to the user’s hand. The user is the “ground” for static electricity, so having a good electrical contact from fibers-to-hand is a big deal! In creating AQ’s new Conductive Carbon Fiber Brush, AudioQuest created new tooling for every part of our new design. AQ’s reborn Brush has ideal conductivity from the Carbon Fibers, through the internal parts of the brush, to the conductive Gold Contacts placed right where your fingers need them. We also reinvestigated what is possible with Carbon Fibers, finally choosing for our new Brush a far greater quantity of new smaller fibers in order to more effectively sweep away micro-dirt, not just the less relevant visible dust. To everyone who has an AQ Record Brush (thank you), or any brand of Carbon Fiber brush, and to everyone who hasn’t yet discovered how simple it is to keep records clean: We invite you to experience the reborn AudioQuest Anti-Static Record Brush. Your records will thank you!" – William E. Low |

About AudioQuest
AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

Good quality brush
Mr Dudley Cann

You can see the difference between this brush and any other brush by the density of the carbon fibre bristles and the antistatic gold bars, which do seem to work like any brush. It is only for removing loose dust and not ground in crime.
Very effective anti static brush

I put my vinyl, both old and new, through my Record Cleaning Machine but wanted an effective Carbon Fibre Brush as well. After checking, the AudioQuest brush was ordered, which arrived very quickly.
The brush works really well, is simple to use and cleans the vinyl of any residual dust and static after cleaning. It is highly recommended.

I ordered the item online in the morning, and it was made ready for me to collect within 2hrs. Ruben was helpful and explained the parking situation. So, the advice was great on the phone, and the service was efficient.
I've been using the carbon fibre brush for about 20-30 times, and it seems to do the job effectively, as many others have commented.

Great product, marked difference compared with “old” brush. It appears to remove loads of dust! Which was a shock as I believed my vinyl was pretty clear of dust.
Works as advertised

My expectations were low, but what transpired was a performance that well exceeded them. It picks up dirt exceptionally well, and amazingly the anti-static capability works very well as well. I am not sure how it does it, given that I am wearing shoes with rubber soles when I use the brush. The guard removes the dust from the brush as well. It is a little fiddly to use, and care is needed not to contaminate the bristles with one's fingers.
Great Product.

This replaced a old record cleaner from the 80s which I thought did a good, until I used this Audioquest Anti Static Brush.
It cleans very well and reduces static, as a result I now hear more of the music and less of the noise.
Great product.
