I still haven't bought a brush, but this reassured me that the process isn't delicate or complicated. Thanks!

The instructions for the AT6011a say you must touch the cleaner to the spindle to remove static. I've watched quite a few videos on these cleaners and I'm curious why none of them seem to cover this step.

Most so-called antistatic carbon fibre brushes (and probably the one shown in the video too) are far from being antistatic. I put a record on the platter, clean the record with this brush and if I take the record off the platter immediately after there is static crackling. It is the brush that induces static. The aluminium handle is nothing more than a cover simply on the plastic case. The carbon fibres are not grounded thus.

Is it possible to damage your turntables motor by using this?
