In Reply to: Story on another site: Carbon fiber brushes cause "microscratches" and thus should not be used. Opinions? posted by Elizabeth on May 8, 2012 at 08:39:53:
I've found it's easy to get microscratches with the Hunt. You just rub with light to moderate pressure in the dead wax area and look with a bright light. (The dead wax area is a good place to run tests on anything you rub a record with, as any scratches are easy to see.) That said, I doubt those tiny scratches would have any affect on record play. They are far too small to be picked up by a stylus. But I don't like the idea of putting any scratches on a record, audible or not. I cannot detect any scratches from the Audioquest brush.

PS: Perhaps I am overly sensitive about tiny scratches. I've worked for years in optics production, and we are always checking surfaces for scratches. The very fine ones are called "sleaks" in the optical business.
