Review on 🎡 Enhance Your Listening Experience with the AudioQuest LP Record Clean Brush by Eugene Cox

Do not buy it sheds fibers making recordings worse than before

So I just bought a new turntable to play my records which have been in the box for 10 years. I didn't have room for a record player in my old house, but I just moved to a new place where I had a room. I was excited to hear a bunch of records that I had been keeping under wraps for a while. I thought they might be dusty so I bought this brush to clean them. That's how the first LP I played was on white vinyl. I used this brush and started recording only to notice TONS of pops and pops. So I looked at the slab and found that the brush had lost tons of fibers all over the slab. Worse, they get stuck in the groove of the record by the brush, so it was troublesome to clean the record. The compressed air didn't work so I had to get a microfiber cloth to scrape it off. I've attached an image showing this. People who claim it doesn't shed fibers are either looking at black vinyl, or maybe there's another manufacturer that has a better product, but I wouldn't roll the dice if I were you. Now I have to find another solution.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write later
