I need an LP brush for some of those records I just bought. Anybody got an extra one laying around they would like to sell? I don't really want to give up $30 to AA just for a LP brush.

    Let me look around. I got some kind of vinyl cleaner brush from TPG2. If I can find it, I'll send it your way for free. Still in the original packaging even!

    Just use a stainless steel wire brush.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Are you seroius? Will that not mess up the grooves? What's the purpose of this brush, anyways? Just to get the dirt/dust out of the grooves?

    Ok, thanks. I'd feel really bad if I got that Cream album from George and immediately set to with a wire brush to clean it off before listening...

    AB,
    Check out one of the other suppliers, like Garage-a-Records or Sleevetown
    They have generic (they are identical to the brand names) carbon fiber record brushes for $10. I'd recommend using the CF brush primarily on records that are just dusty. Beyond that, you might want to get a spray on cleaner/microfiber cloth for cleaning the stuff that the CF won't handle (fingerprints, grime, etc).
    I started out with the Phoenix 8oz kit from Sleevetown and it took me through about 100 records. You may be able to get away with using a distilled water spray if you already have a nice clean microfiber cloth around.
    http://www.sleevetown.com/vinyl-cleaning.shtml
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Ok, that sounds do-able. I can manage $10, and I have quite a few microfiber clothes laying around (clean?...well, at least we have a washer...:p).

    Thanks!

    Garage-A-Records is a good bunch of people to deal with. Square deal prices AND shipping charges.

    You could probably get away with a steel brush for the Cream album. Nothing but HARD rock on that vinyl baby (AND I DON'T MEAN METAL)!

    If I remember right, Cream was pristine. You need the brush/cleaner for some of the others you selected.

    Do you happen to know if they'll accept payment via MO's? I think I may have to give them a call. Their site is a bear to navigate...but recommendations counteract that.

    Can't remember. If you're talking Garage........ wait till tomorrow and call them toll free. They have weird hours though. Only in there like two days a week or something if memory serves. GREAT PEOPLE however.

    I'll second a recommendatin on Garage-a. I bought my whole Spin Clean system from them. Shipped quickly and reasonably.

    AB, doesn't matter how clean or pristine the record it, it still needs a good sweep with a CF brush before playing. It gets the dust and "micro" particles out and eliminates some of the static before playing. Otherwise, the stylus pressure will imbed those micro particles into the vinyl and you will be stuck with a noisy record. Trust me on this one...

    Sorry AB, I wasn't able to find it. This and my maggie's owner manual seem to be missing and I'm getting really ticked about it... My wife "cleaned" the garage, now everything is lost or worse....

    Got my carbon fiber brush in today! This bristles are soft! I was expecting something stiff. Just what about it is carbon fiber? Are those bristles really carbon fiber?

    I'm so nuts about my vinyl that I subscribe to this type of treatment (see link below). It may seem over-the-top but I can tell you I have LPs (audiophile & mass marketed pressings) that are over thirty years old and because I took (take) great care of them they are still great to listen to.

    I'm definitely bookmarking that! So I don't have to read it all now. :p

    Thanks! :)

    It's amazing what a carbon fiber brush can do! My Fleetwood Mac was all 'snap, crackle, and pop' when I got it. So I washed it with distilled water and a clean microfiber rag. Was still 'snap, crackle, and pop'. I got in my carbon fiber brush, used it on the ablum, and now there are hardly any pops in it at all.

    What does the brush do exaclty? Clean the debris out of, I know. Does it also help with static electricity? Also, am I supposed to ever clean the brush? If so, how?

    Thanks!
