Which record brush?


Anybody got any strong preferences between the Audioquest and Hunt EDA brushes? Does either one do a better job picking up (vs. moving around) dust? And would either be easier for my wife to use?

Unless you want to pony up for a Alsop and the (constant) replacement pads.But I suggest it as a wet system if you aren't going to get a Vac machine.Pre-clean with my Alsop so I don't contaminate my felt lips on my VPI 16.5.Maybe the Hunt then Alsop for squeaky cleanest without the mojo $$$ for a VPI or Nitty Gritty.
Not to change subject but like this home brew (tech at VPI told me recipie) empty out 1 gal of distilled water in pot dump 1 pt. of rubbing alcohol in add 2 or 3 drops of dish liquid (clear if possible) and get some stuff from a photo shop called Kodak photo flow.You'll have to buy a big bottle but se lavie.Use only 2 or 3 drops.Photoflow reduces the surface adhesion which allows the water to spread more even and thuroughly on the record.Great for machines.With thmoney you save over costly comercial stuff you can justify a VPI 1`6.5.Built like a tank.Seal the seams with spar marine varnish.Buy one if you dig records and plan to get more!
