In Reply to: RE: Cannot believe I am asking about dry record cleaning brushes after posted by PAR on November 04, 2021 at 15:51:26
as yours. Old brush-adequate cleaning. New brush-poor cleaning. The new brush does have less electrical resistance than the old brush by a significant amount.
I have been using the Audioquest brushes for a long time too, and I only noticed the shedding recently while using a bright light at a low angle next to the turntable. No idea if this has been happening before.
I may also be using a bad technique of cleaning the brush after use. I swing the fibers back and forth across the handle as instructed, but I also follow that with swiping along the fibers with the back of my fingernail. That may be dislodging fibers, and I just didn't see it before until low angle lighting caught it.
I had to google pukka, as the closest word I am familiar with is puka from my Hawaiian birthplace. I do have a British dictionary at my other location, but I had to rely on the internet here in Washington State.

Sorry about that. I wondered if was used in American English ( apparently not). It is actually Hindi (as are words like shampoo, veranda) acquired by us in the days of empire. It is in pretty general use here - we even have brands such as Pukka Tea, Pukka Pies and Pukka Services ( vehicle insurance). It just means pure, genuine. We often employ " kosher" in a secular sense for the same purpose (especially by cockneys like me) but these days I wonder if that usage might offend some?
And after all this time I find that you are not in Alaska but Washington State :-).

So, do you pronounce that puck kah or poo kah? Interesting about shampoo and veranda. Thanks.
I have seen Pukka tea in our Washington stores.
It's more puck kah although us cockneys would say it as " pukker" .
Yes I could imagine coming across some Pukka tea in Whole Foods ( Whole Paycheck) in Seattle :-).
