I'm with Joe on this one. The LAST brushes are very effective, in my experience, and have a couple of ancillary benefits. They are relatively cheap so if one gets "boogered", like getting oil or something greasy on the fibers by mistake, you pitch it out. Not so comfortably done with a DD brush. Also, since they are cheap, one is not tempted to "get the very least mile" out a particular brush, thus risking cross-contamination and/or damage.
RRL Showed up at my door yesterday....
I just received my Record Research Labs Deep and Super vinyl wash. (I have only used the wash with my VPI brush and 16.5 so far-- I am waiting for my DD brushes.)
Right off I liked the way that the wash really appears (visually) to get into the grooves much more than the VPI fluid I have been using.
Now comes the cleaning test, Stevie Nicks Belladonna is much quieter and I want to say smoother -- I guess that's the word I am looking for.
On to Eva Cassidy -- (the Steve Hoffman copy of Songbird.) All I can say IS OH MY GOD. about the record and about the RRL fluid.
Needless to say, there is NO need for me to look any further I am SOLD on the RRL products!
Come on DD brushes-- get here! (here's a plug for www.diamondgroove.com)-- the owner is a really great guy to work with-- super friendly, and actually answers E-mails in a timely manner! Now if only the Canadian Post were a little quicker to the west coast....
I will be spending a lot of time listening to Lp's today!!!!
Happy Listening and a great day to all,
