Back in 1973, I became a dedicated user of the Decca Carbon Fibre Record Brush. The British Decca Brush was so wonderfully more effective than any of the wet-cloth-pad cleaners that smeared dirt around on ones records.
 
As often happens to truly superior products, the Decca Brush was mostly ignored the overall record-cleaning market was dominated by cleaning pads attached to wood handles not because they worked well, but because many hi-fi stores preferred to sell a cleaner that forced customers to come back to buy special fluid, again and again.

After creating AudioQuest in 1980, and with the wild success of the AQ 404 phono cartridge in 1982, and because I personally used a Carbon Fibre record brush every single day AudioQuest began making the AQ Carbon Fibre Record Brush now a 35-year old success story, and maybe the worlds favorite way to respect and care for LPs.

Except we eventually learned that the AQ Record Brush (and every other brand of carbon Fibre brush), doesnt have a good electrical path between the fibers and the handle, and that the print-protecting coating on the metal handle prevents a proper electrical connection to the users hand. The user is the ground for static electricity, so having a good electrical contact from fibres-to-hand is a big deal!

In creating AQs new Conductive Carbon Fibre Brush, AudioQuest created new tooling for every part of our new design. AQs reborn Brush has ideal conductivity from the Carbon Fibres, through the internal parts of the brush, to the conductive Gold Contacts placed right where your fingers need them.

We also reinvestigated what is possible with Carbon Fibres, finally choosing for our new Brush a far greater quantity of new smaller fibres in order to more effectively sweep away micro-dirt, not just the less relevant visible dust.

To everyone who has an AQ Record Brush (thank you), or any brand of Carbon Fibre brush, and to everyone who hasnt yet discovered how simple it is to keep records clean:

We invite you to experience the reborn AudioQuest Conductive Record Brush.

Your records will thank you!
