Audioquest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush

Audioquest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush

Keep vinyl LPs free from annoying static, microscopic dust, and harmful debris with AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush. Simple, attractive, and remarkably effective, AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush features 1,086,000 conductive carbon fibres and an uncoated metal finger grip to create a reliable electrical path between fibres and handle. Unlike most brushes that have a protective coating over their handles, AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush employs an uncoated metal finger grip that has been carefully positioned for ease of use and efficacy, ensuring a proper electrical connection to the user’s hand. That electrical path from fibres to hand is key to the Silver Anti-Static Record Brush’s success: Upon gripping the handle and gently applying the brush’s bristles to the surface of an LP, the user essentially becomes the ground for static electricity.

Like its sibling, AudioQuest’s Gold Anti-Static Record Brush, which boasts even more (1,248,000) conductive carbon fibres, the Silver Anti-Static Record Brush is a direct descendant of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true Carbon Fibre Record Brush. Dating back to 1982, AudioQuest’s Carbon Fibre Record Brush is a true hi-fi classic, trusted for decades by audiophiles, vinyl enthusiasts, collectors, record-shop owners, DJs, and anyone else who cares about LPs. In creating the improved design, AudioQuest established new tooling for every part of the Anti-Static Record Brush. The revamped Anti-Static Record Brush has ideal conductivity from its carbon fibres through its internal parts to the ergonomically positioned conductive contacts. AudioQuest also reinvestigated the performance potential of carbon fibre bristles, thoughtfully selecting a far greater quantity of smaller bristles to sweep away microscopic dust and debris — not just the less relevant visible dust — more effectively.

Building and maintaining a record collection doesn’t have to be a daunting or tedious task. The AudioQuest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush makes it easy: Simply place a record on your turntable’s platter, start the turntable, and wait until the record is spinning at its proper speed (33, 45, or 78RPMs). Holding the Anti-Static Record Brush by its silver finger grips, place its fibres across the grooves — firmly enough that the bristles make constant contact with the record’s surface and gently enough that the bristles do not bend. Allow the record to turn for two or three rotations so that the Anti-Static Record Brush can collect the visible dust and any invisible microscopic dust. Gently and smoothly slide the brush away from the platter’s centre spindle, toward your body, and off the record’s surface. Rotate the Anti-Static Record Brush within its handle to remove any dirt and debris from its carbon fibre bristles. Repeat the process as desired.

Cleaning your records before and after each listening session helps keep them free from dust and debris while eliminating static that can contribute to annoying snaps, crackles, and pops. This safe and simple record-cleaning process also benefits your phono cartridge’s stylus, enhancing its performance and extending its lifespan by ensuring that it travels a smoother, cleaner path through the vinyl’s grooves.

Make the AudioQuest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush an important part of your vinyl-care routine and join tens of thousands who have trusted AudioQuest with keeping their valuable collections clean, quiet, and static-free.
