Personally I use LAST brushes, 10 for $30. They're white, so you can tell when to discard them. They get the grooves really clean if you use them with good cleaning agents (I like Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solultions -- AIVS). No residues show up on the stylus, at least in my experience. There are lots of ways to skin this particular cat (old Midwest saying). Good luck finding yours :-) Dave
When cleaning vinyl - what to use for
I read with interest a recent string about a fibrous residue after cleaninig which string also included a lot of detail about various vinyl cleaning preferences. Common to many procedures is a first scrubbing step. Am curious about what applicators/brushes are recommended for the initial wet cleaning step. Some have cautioned against a Hunt brush but also seem to indicate carbon fiber won't work effectively - just curious what IS used.
