Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush


Hi all,

Since I acquired and have been using the Luxman pd441 I realized that this table has a low torque motor and the plater slows down considerably if I apply the brush with the motor running.
Which does more damage to the unit, the motor fighting the brush or the electronic being turned off and on dozens of times during a listening session?  Thanks all with more experience.

I use the Brush in the Link.
It is the softest Brush I have come across that has a dedicated purpose for LP Cleaning.
It has been reserved for Brand New Vinyl and recently my Newly Cleaned Vinyl, that is slowly growing in numbers.
All my Vinyl Collection is being cleaned since the beginning of 2021, and this has been a purchase that has been good to incorporate into the post cleaning processes for vinyl care
.
The ASB -1 Dust collection is extremely good, and work effectively without the need to apply a force, the free weight laying on the LP will remove any surface contaminant in not much more than two revolutions of the LP.
I leave the Puck Weight off when cleaning as when on the LP, it shields the light source across the LP from a local placed lamp that is set to direct a light onto the LP Surface.
The use of the lamp really aids with showing off the surface contamination that settles on the LP in a very short space of time.
The Brush is also the only brush I have used that when thoroughly removing contaminant does not cause slippage of the LP on the Platter, as there is no need to apply a down force to the Brush.

I certainly don't see this brush as being responsible for labouring the TT's motor.

It does command a Price above the commonly seen prices, but the effectiveness of the clean, the not producing slippage and the other properties it is claimed to contain, that are more difficult to comment on, make it an item I am happy to own. 
It fits perfectly into the equipment purchases made to carry out a regime of Vinyl Care and ensure the Source Medium is off a high standard when in use.

Vinyl is the Source on a System that has the Turntable as the Front End.
The Monies spent on the TT and Ancillaries will be nest served if the Medium delivering the information is at its most readable when being read.
Alien Information can be removed with the care methods that is being discussed .
I have a US Tank that is yet to be utilised for cleaning purposes.
The end product of the Cleaning Method I have been using has been very impressive.
I cleaned a Brand New Album recently that had a little bit too much surface noise.
The cleaned album was noticeably improved for noise and sounded Clean, listening to cleanliness is a hard perception to get across and understood.
It is present whatever it is.
There is not an album that has been cleaned in 2021 that has not been impressive.
The cleaned album using the new method is potentially cleaning all the residuals from not so well thought out previous cleaning methods.

I have no doubt in my mind the solutions that are being produced for cleaning at present are capable of deep groove cleansing.
