What customers say
Audiophiles overwhelmingly praise the Furutech ASB-1 Antistatic Brush for its superior performance in static neutralization. Users report a tangible improvement in playback quality, noting a significant reduction in surface noise, pops, and clicks directly linked to the brush's specialized fibers. Unlike basic dusters, this tool effectively lifts contaminants while leaving the media surface electrically neutral. Furthermore, the build quality receives high marks; it feels like a durable, precision instrument, upholding the brand's reputation. While the initial cost is high, dedicated collectors view the ASB-1 as a necessary investment for preserving valuable records and maximizing audio fidelity. It is highly recommended for serious record care.
Know before you buy
Unlike standard brushes that simply push dust around, the COREBRID™ B fibers are conductive. They actively ground the static charge on your surfaces, which prevents dust from being immediately re-attracted to the disc or lens.
The brush is designed to ground static through your hand. As long as you are holding the handle, your body acts as the path to ground, allowing the fibers to dissipate the static charge effectively.
Yes, the fibers are soft and the construction is designed to be safe for sensitive surfaces. However, always ensure the brush is clean and free of debris before using it on high-end optics to avoid accidental scratching.
It is recommended to use the brush while the record is stationary on the platter. Using it while the record is spinning can be difficult and may lead to uneven pressure or accidental contact with the stylus.
You can gently shake the brush or use a soft, clean cloth to remove dust trapped in the fibers. Avoid using liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the conductive properties of the COREBRID™ B fibers.
