The bristles just get soft and look all bent out of shape. I don't even put that much pressure on it. Just a light dusting. Damn if I can figure it out. I know there are people out there who listen more often than I do, hence using the brush more. Does static affect it? My house is pretty "charged" I always have to dissapate the static before I play, usually after I brush an lp. Who knows, maybe my wife is using it on the cat!

I guess I am going to try a different brush, maybe the Audioquest. I have a feeling that quality control might have been an issue with mine, as I bought both at the same time. BTW, I have Decca's, not a Hunt, my oops. This is what it looks like: See what I mean?
