Which is the best vinyl/record cleaner you use? I use the discwasher (the new rca one) and don't like it much. It barely picks up dust and doesn't get all of it out of the grooves.
Just out of curiosity, I looked at the new Discwasher brushes. They all look just like the old ones to me. By "old" I mean from about 10 years ago.
I've been using the Discwasher brush since the late 70's/early 80's, and continue to use it to this day. I feel (if used properly) it cleans better than either the Hunt or AQ carbon fiber brush. To me, those two brushes are a waste, except to remove miniscule amounts of lint, etc, after a record has hit a RCM.
Are you using the Discwasher brush as instructed, with a few drops of the liquid dripped across and smeared on with the bottom with the liquid dispenser? If you're using it dry, it's just as worthless as any other dry brushing.
And, if your records are extremely dirty, then nothing except a bath in the sink (or RCM) will get it clean.
