You're right about the brushes adding static. I use a brush and a Milty Zero Dust. I turn on the platter with brush on the record while cycling the Milty a few times. I point away from the cart at about a 45 degree angle. Works pretty good.
Dust Off compressed air to get dust off of vinyl records
I have a decent record cleaner but wanted to see if anyone ever uses the dust off type compressed air canisters to deal with dust instead of a record brush (when not doing full clean between playings). Any downsides to using dust off ? I have a number off diff brushes but sometimes I think they add static and/or don't get all the dust (sometimes I think they might add a bit of crackly sound to relatively clean records - i also might be crazy 🤓)
