Hudson Hi-Fi Anti-Static Cleaning Arm - Adjustable, Universal Fit - Defy Damage, Perfect Playback - AutoMagically Cleans as LP Plays to Remove Dust & Static, End Needle Skipping, Popping

Just received today and had it on my turntable in a matter of minutes. Extremely easy set up and the product is well built. I did purchase the other brush arm that had two for the same price. I was very disappointed in that was of poor quality and didn’t work well at all, returned it and just bought this one. There is a major difference between this one and the other. I only played two records so far and the tracking was perfect and coincided with the tone arm. It definitely cleans Your records, helps with the pops and keeps your needle clean. Very happy with this and highly recommend it!UPDATE Its been a few days and I have played about 10 albums and it continues to work extremely well. The tracking of the arm is perfect and without a doubt the record and the stylus stay clean. This is a very good item and does the job! Only have good things to say about it.

The way this comes packaged, it seems pretty clear everything is in there you'll need, except an instruction sheet.I get it though, it's so idiot-simple the printed instructions on the back of the box will work, if not, there's a link to a video.I honsestly thought this had been a product return that was re-sent.I couldn't find the connecting wire. And the lower-mass weight on the front end of the arm seemed out of place somehow. I almost returned it as missing parts until I looked down at my shoes under my desk and there was the wire. Rolled and wrapped up with a rubber-band, I didn't even see it fall out of the package, or notice it inside from the outside.It was late, I'd worked two back-to-back shifts 14 hours each and with sleep apnea, well, I wasn't really thinking clearly.Next morning, bright-eyed and fully caffeinated, I took a second look at what I had, READ the instructions - again - and had this up and running in about two minutes. Hardest part was getting two spade terminals onto the ground wire point on my preamp at the same time.Balancing? EZPZ.Sliding the weight a bit forward to BARELY get the goat or whatever sacrificial animal's hairs to ALMOST dig into the grooves to the arm would track and whaddya know... an album I had played just a few short days earlier was QUIET in the quiet sections, NO static pops OR cockatoo dander snap crackle and popping at random. While most of the dander/dust problem I've worked my way around, whatever little bit was left was GONE.Even more, a colored vinyl disc on a deerskin mat seems to be the WORST combination for static cling, but there wasn't any.So pros:Easy to set up.Works as advertised.Kind of gimmicky but this kind of static brush has been used on records (vinyl, bakelite, shellac) going on a hundred years and it does work, just got to get it set up right.Cons:Not entirely idiot proof. Install when fully rested for best effects.

From the pure standpoint of tackling static, this arm works very well. I've got it so that it follows pretty close to the stylus without impeding it at all. I don't know if that has been the secret sauce, but it has helped tremendously and the historical problem of static I've had has gotten much better. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the bristles seem to leave a unique dust mark each time it's used. It's an odd thing for a brush to do but the effect of it is good enough to look past it.

If you are like me and you collect vinyl, you must really hate dust. Doesn't it seem that you freshly dust the living room only to turn around an hour later and it's all dusty again? I just can't stand that. The same goes for my vinyl records.I have several high-end turntables in my collection and if I play a record without first cleaning it through the ultrasonic cleaner there may be a little bit of dust accumulation on the record. Also sometimes there could be a small amount of static. This device simply rests on the plinth of your turntable and mine is at the back rear left, and it's so incredibly featherlite it affects nothing as far as turntable speed or anything else. The brush delicately whisks away any dust while the record is playing as well as seems to remove any static so popping another noises are greatly reduced, and it also tends to keep the turntable stylus much cleaner and not accumulate as much on the stylus as normal.for such a low cost device and such a simple design I'm very impressed with the performance of this device and I can thoroughly recommend it for anyone who is serious about their vinyl and hates dust at all costs. Two thumbs up! By the way, if you want to see these devices in action there are plenty of videos on YouTube which is where I first saw them, and they deliver what they promise. I hope this helps!
