Not to agree or disagree, but aren’t static charges generated by rubbing different materials against each other? Comb through hair, clothes in dryer, etc? So yeah I would think a brush constantly running along the record would generate some static charges.
Brushes like the sweep can still work. They catch dust on the record just before the stylus gets to it. Don’t have one, got no skin in the game. But it seems to me there are at least two sources of noise- static electricity and dust. A sweeper brush might work in the sense it reduces dust noise even if at the same time it increases static noise.
Not saying one or the other. Just pointing out it might not be so cut and dried as you make it seem.
