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?

I use a Hunt EDA brush, and while it cleans off all the lint and debris,  I agree it does little for static.

@jperry,

Does that Ionizer work?

I have a small arm with brush on the end that tracks the record just before the stylus. It has a wire connected to it's base and I have grounded at the other end.

Long story short, it's useless for static. Might even make it worse.
