"Spin While You Clean!" A must have for true audiophiles!
Makes your records noticeably quieter, free from unwanted noise. Drain static as it happens in real time!
Tru-Sweep is strategically designed to drain static with a ground wire attached to the stainless steel base connected to your phono stage or preamp, grounding it and eliminating static. It tracks in perfect unison with your tonearm as it glides along your vinyl from start to finish, sweeping up dust with the camel hair brush, and removing static while your record plays. The brush can be detached for quick and easy cleaning when needed. Just rinse under warm water and screw the head back on with the Allen key provided.
What it does: The perfectly balanced Uni-pivot arm allows the Camel Hair brush to gently track the grooves of the record. With adjustable tracking force you can control the speed of which the arm travels inward. The soft Camel Hair brush gently sweeps across the record picking up fine dust and drains the static build up through a connected ground wire keeping your stylus dust and static free.
How it works: Hair can conduct static electricity. The material that the Tru-Sweep is made from has continuity throughout the entire build of the unit. Once the static is encountered on the record, the electrons flow up the camel hair encounter the grounding conductor via wand portion where it travels to the uni-pivot bearing then transferred to the height extension of Tru-Sweep then to the base and discharged by the ground wire. This is connected to your Phono Pre-amp ground lug or to your receiver ground lug or amplifier ground lug.
Set up: Set up is quick and easy! It comes fully assembled in two parts and requires adjusting counter weights to the desired position (level with the platter usually yields the best results). Place the brush on your record and as it spins slide the collet to the tracking/skate force that works best for you. Tru-Sweep is attached with 3 dots of Blu-Tac placed in a triangular pattern under the base so if you upgrade your turntable the Tru-Sweep can easily be set up on your new system.
"Canadian based Integrityhifi, creators of the popular Tru-Lift Tone Arm Lifter, recently introduced Tru-Sweep, a static draining arm and brush combination that gives users a terrific new tool in the battle against pops and clicks. A thoroughly modern and redesigned take on old school and largely ineffective dust busters such as the Watts Dust Bug and the cartridge head shell brushes many of us owned as kids, the Tru-Sweep is anything but ineffective and a visual knock out, bonus! Crafted from solid 304 & 316 surgical stainless steel this is one sexy beast that's sure to look right at home with any stylish high end turntable you pair it with. Sitting on the back left pod of my VPI Avenger's 3 legs, it looks like it came straight from the VPI factory. In other words there's nothing 'after market' or low rent looking about it, quite the contrary. Plus I'm a sucker for beautifully machined objects and Tru-Sweep definitely fits that bill. After thorough torture testing in dry static producing forced hot air conditions, Tru-Sweep never once let me down, continuously keeping my records quiet and dust free. This bad-ass arm now falls squarely into my turntable essentials category. Recommended with 2 big thumbs up!" - Michael Corsentino, Positive Feedback
"As with the Tru-Lift, the Tru-Sweep will help your stylus last longer and save you a little bit of work; although, the Tru-Sweep also helps your records sound better. All in all, another great accessory from Integrity Hi-Fi." - Jay Garrett, StereoNET
Not all products are created equal.... Crafted in solid (304 & 316) Surgical Stainless Steel. Outstanding quality product. Each piece is hand polished. All Models have SOLID round bases & Solid Rod.
