A GOOD dry record cleaning device
I have tried several “on turntable platter” dry” cleaning brushes. I currently wash my albums (wet clean) with a Spin Clean wash manual system before they are ever played. I currently use Audio Quests’ new Carbon fiber brush first and then a Big Fudge cleaner with their cleaning solution afterwards before the stylus drops onto vinyl. (Yes I clean the stylus too). I am not sold the Big Fudge is cleaning the grooves well enough…
Can y’all give me your thoughts and suggestions please for a better cleaner?

I gave up using any dry brush on a record over a year ago. I just use the Teflon rod that I address in the book with current updates. For me it works good enough and is easy to keep clean. To clean a dry brush using a dry process you may want to try a low-tack silicone roller - Amazon.com: YYQTGG Dust Removal Roller Plastic Handle Electrostatic Safe Low Tack Silicone Film Roller for Fiber Removal Circuit Board (10in) : Tools & Home Improvement. I use the 4-in version to clean the platter mat that I use. It does not appear to leave any residue and they last a long time. The roller is easy to clean under flowing water (use your fingers to gently clean) and then rinse with DIW, shake and let dry. Take care, Neil |
OP, a brush with cleaning solution is not a dry brush “solution,” per se. 😉 I won’t use any dry brush on a record for the same reason I won’t use a broom without a dustpan on the floor, FWIW. |
