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.
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?
