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?

Look for the source of your static. Are you playing records on carpet with socks- huge cause. Once my records are cleaned, no static charge. I work and play in bare feet. There are ways to discharge static on a record, but my suggestion is to figure out what is causing the charge and address that. It's not something that should normally interfere w/ LP playback.
