Seven guides covering the whole job: cleaning a record, storing it so it stays clean, brushing a stylus without bending anything, emptying the brush that does the sweeping, sorting out why a record skips, and choosing between the two brush technologies that have split collectors for forty years.
If you have just bought a turntable, read the care routine first. It is the shortest of the seven and it tells you what to do in the next ten minutes rather than in theory. If you have just brought home a crate of secondhand records, start with how to clean vinyl records, because a used disc needs one proper wash before it ever meets your stylus and no amount of brushing substitutes for it.
If a record skips, why does my record skip sorts the four causes by their symptom before you clean anything, and says which two a brush removes. If your records already sound noisy in a way that cleaning does not fix, the problem is usually where they live. How to store vinyl records covers upright filing, the temperature and humidity ranges federal archive guidance publishes, and why the inner sleeve is the first thing to replace. And if you are about to buy a brush and cannot decide, our carbon fiber versus velvet comparison sets both technologies against the same criteria, including the places where the carbon design beats the one we sell. And once you own a brush, how to clean a record cleaning brush covers the part almost everybody skips: emptying the pad before it starts putting dust back.
Tonebrush sells one thing, a three-piece brush set built around the daily part of record care: the velvet block for the record, the stylus brush for the cartridge, and the white nylon detail brush for the velvet itself.
Product pages sit separately: the record cleaning kit covers the full three-piece set, the anti-static record brush page covers the velvet block and the static question, and the stylus brush page covers the small angled piece for the diamond. Buyer feedback is on the reviews page, and the person who writes the guides is on the about page.
