[edit]

RAMAR is well known for their unique[5][6][7][8] handmade record brushes used for cleaning the record before and after playback. The RAMAR record brushes are recommended by renowned audiophile magazines like "Stereophile"[9] and "The Absolute Sound"[10]. The company has accomplished some interesting projects with other well-known brands and high-end audio equipment manufacturer. In 2021 RAMAR made the record brushes for all 70 Nagra Anniversary Edition turntables[11]. RAMAR also manufactures record brushes for Oswalds Mill Audio[12]. For the Japanese label "NEIGHBORHOOD"[13] RAMAR designed a limited edition record brushes that symbolizes the neighborhood. The storage box of the brushes symbolizes the structure of a neighborhood, with the grid of the case representing the streets and the empty spaces representing the blocks of houses. The brush handle is milled from a single piece Ash wood. For the surface RAMAR used the traditional wood preservating technique “Yakisugi”.

RAMAR has also developed JEWEL[14] - the first asymmetrical resonance control concept (record weight). Although the outer contours of the body, milled from solid stainless steel, are asymmetrical, the body has a perfect weight distribution.
