If you asking for the best this is this winner of a Fremer shoot-out.
Carbon fibre + goat hair and aesthetically beautiful. If I recall around $300 though (but you get a stylus brush too). I admit that I am tempted. But tempted is probably where it will remain :-(.

Just because Fremer recommends it doesn't mean it's anything special. Let's face it: no record brush removes all the dust, no matter your technique. I don't care how fancy the brush or how exhorbitant the price. Save your money. A brush like Audioquest does about the best job but is far from perfect. The truth is you really don't need to get every spec of dust off. Just wet clean or use an ultrasonic and dry. Once should do the trick. I think we all know this but still search endlessly for THE ULTIMATE BRUSH. THERE REALLY IS NO SUCH THING.

That is fine for cleaning a disc but brushing before play is not really about cleaning but just preening the disc before and after play. That is removing any light particles ( dust etc) that may have fallen on the record during play or since the last ultrasonic or other RCM cleaning. It is unusual to need to clean ultrasonically more than once and certainly not every time that the record is removed from its sleeve or every time it is turned over which is when light contamination occurs (dust from air, picked up from turntable mat etc). You need a brush for the latter.

I thought I was clear but obviously not. My point was that once a record is wet cleaned either through US or other methods, it does not need to be cleaned again. Just use a brush like the Audioquest before each play to remove the dust. I did note, though, that brushes like these are far from perfect, inevitably leaving some dust on the record but really of no consequence on playback.
Thank you for your clarification. We agree :-).

because there is what amounts to an amazing amount of tiny dust particles in every room and also inside inner sleeves. Just shine a high intensity white light or let the morning sunshine in and watch the dust particles floating in the air that would normally seem clean and clear. I even have 2 air ionic conditioners in my room and the filters have to be cleaned from all the dust after 1 month.I have a short fiber Decca and it works very well and always use it just before each play and there is always something there every time. Poly sleeves help but it's not enough. If the brush doesn't collect it the stylus will.
Thanks everyone!
