Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable?


The problem I'm trying to solve is to rid any electrostatic charge build up in my records/LP's and the turntable.  I've looked at products designed to rid records of electrostatic charge.  In fact I own one.  However, I'm looking at getting a Simco Ion small fan and mounting it near my turntable and have it blow on the turntable when playing records.  Any harm in doing this?

wind across your tonearm will cause more miss tracking than the potential benefits

Any speaker drivers moving in a room, subwoofer drivers moving, the music playing, etc can become an impediment to the pristine spinning of vinyl. The ultra sophisticated vinyl plastic conneiseurs should just throw away all their speakers and listen on headphones....lest they disturb the stupid plastic crap, as it spins around.
