Even if you clean your records with the GrooveWasher Walnut Record Cleaning kit, room dust, lint and cat hair can accumulate on your stylus. Your stylus will "plow" out any debris that isn't removed from a record cleaning. And the debris will stick to your record needle.
We sourced and tested dozens of brush styles, handle types and bristles. Straight "pencil" brushes. Artist camel hair brushes. Toothbrush styles. Mascara brushes.
We preferred a 90 degree angle. Long bristles so
the brush can clean the underside of the cartridge as well as the stylus. Dense
bristles to pull off gunky coatings but soft to avoid damage to the stylus or
cantilever. Those are the features of our new stylus brush. This brush can be
used dry or with a couple of drops of SC1 Fluid.
