Troy Tools Custom Brush Handles

Looks like a nice idea, but wouldn't that generate a lot of static? :unsure: And wouldn't a Snow Leopard or Cashmere be softer?

That's what the anti-stat gun is for :cool:
It's what I use. (pictured below)
I've heard goat hair brushes are already used for this purpose, but I haven't researched enough yet to know if there is any objective measureable evidence to prove goat hair superior to all others, or if that is just more audiophile snake oil claims by the guy who sells goat hair brushes. I'm trying to find out though.
You're probably right about the Snow Leopard and Cashmere knots being softer, but I have an abundance of Tuxedo in 30mm, far more than the few 28mm SL & Cashmere. Either way, Tuxedo isn't going to scratch a vinyl record as much as the other two won't.
So for trial puposes, Tuxedo it is.:D

Laboratory grade anti-stat goodness.

Aha. (y) I don't remember those anti-stat guns being available back in the days when I was a vinyl fan, but maybe I was living under a rock. That would come as no surprise. I put up with those supposedly anti-static velvety cloths and rollers, but I never loved them. I also put up with cassette-tapes, and loved those even less. Whoever it was who invented the CD deserves a Nobel Prize.

Yup, my whole music collection (except the newly aquired vinyl) is on my NAS. and backed up by 3 times on seperate drives. I'm a CD guy from way back, but am now doing vinyl again. My cd collection is all .wav files, no compression, full sized copies.

I do. And when 512 Kb of memory on a PDP11 was the biz! :)

Heh, in '81 we were still running a Burroughs B3700 (production ended 1976). Designed for business application (ie COBOL), the nominal 128kb of memory was addressed decimally (as opposed to hex or VAX's octal). I was mostly spared COBOL, much of my work was in assembler. I once embarked on an attempt to write a Fortran compiler for it, but gave up when I realised the weird addressing would make it hopelessly inefficient. Them were the days... :P

Like this, but with a teletype master console that not even God could touch-type on...
