FAQs
- What is the purpose of the Gold Anti-Static Record Brush? It is designed to safely remove dust and static from vinyl records, helping reduce noise and improve playback quality.
- How does the brush reduce static buildup? The conductive carbon-fibre bristles dissipate static electricity while lifting fine dust from the record’s grooves.
- Will using the brush improve sound quality? Yes, regular use can lower surface noise, improve detail retrieval, and help protect both records and stylus.
- How should the brush be used correctly? Gently place the brush on the spinning record, allow it to collect dust, then lift and sweep away the debris without applying pressure.

Key Differences
Gold Anti-Static Record Brush
- Features gold-plated contacts for effective static dissipation with a warmer, well-rounded interaction on the record surface.
- Excellent choice for everyday cleanings where gentle static reduction and consistent dust removal are priorities.
- Often perceived as slightly smoother in feel — ideal if you want reliable performance with a balanced approach.
Silver Anti-Static Record Brush
- Uses silver-plated contacts, which are more conductive than gold. This often results in more aggressive static dissipation and enhanced micro-detail retrieval.
- Tends to pull static and debris more efficiently, especially on heavily charged or older records.
- Favoured by audiophiles who want the maximum extraction of subtle groove detail and ultra-quiet backgrounds.
