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?

Your anti-skate might not like it. Pre-treating should be enough for a single play.

If you have a Zero-stat gun, open the record sleeve and zap the ions onto the record before taking it out. Record won't attract floating dust when taken out of the sleeve.
