In Reply to: how to use a dry brush after the VPI 16.5 cleanings posted by T&T on May 14, 2007 at 12:22:33:
>>I really try to avoid using my VPI cleaning machines unless the album is new or very dirty.<<I would say this is a mistake. If I have cleaned a record and then through use it has become dusty again, I will just give it a once over with distilled water on the VPI which pulls that dust right off. Dry-brushing the dust around into a line seems of dubious value to me.

Hi.Your imagination or my ignorance?
You THINK there are dust around in your listening place, (which I assume it is a well kept indoor residence, & you store your vinyls in their sleeves at ALL time), so you need a RCM everytime you play it.
I THINK there is no dust around (in my well kept residence & all my vinyls are kept in sleeves) so I don't need a RCM.
Of course, I can't argue if you tell me a RCM cleansing can improve the sound of the music. Sonics is so personally subjective.

PS: I drive to work but do I need to drive to work? No, I can take the city public transit. But I own a car, so I got to drive it despite the bigbucks I got to spend to keep it & to run it.
If I see a buildup on the stylus like dog hair, my hair, dust bunnies and the like I will give it a quick rinse-cleaning. Vinyl can be very statically charged and pull things right off your shirt when you flip the record over. After 10 plays or so, you are bound to get some fibres landing on there.
for a couple of revolutions then slowly slide the brush off the LP toward the outer groove. No line of dust that way.
