DS Audio Ionizer - Any Experience?

It's way too expensive 😮

I got a laugh  from a review-

"While $1800 might seem somewhat pricey, the ION-001 gives good value, as it completely removes static, and for a price that, if we consider those three-hour listening sessions, works out to about 50 cents a day. "

Well that justifies the cost..I'm  in!😂

.   .....have mercy......

Static electricity issues varies amongst users, so needs are not universal.

Regardless, I plan to purchase either the DS or the CSPort Static Eliminator IME1

We sell a lot of the DS ion-001's and have to say it's the only anti-static device that works 100%.  A somewhat interesting way I have come up with to demo the effectiveness of the static reduction is to use the static filled record sleeve.  I am sure anyone who's played a record has pulled their new record out of a sleeve that sucks together and is clearly full of static.  I simply drop the sleeve over the DS and spin it in a circle a couple times.  When I lift it off the DS it waves in the air, static free.  I have had many customers claim they don't have a static issue, try out the DS and realize it lowers the noise floor on their records.  While it's expensive for an anti-static device it's also the only one I have found that works as effectively as it does.  

Thank you all for the responses - 

SLAW, my light-hearted response to your “Too Expensive” seems odd to a group of us who will drop $500 on a 2ft power cord 😜

The other responses prompted me to hunt down a Static Electricity meter - What’s another $350 to be able to confirm the Ion generator is actually doing something… 

We are a demented group! But I love it !

I've seen and heard the CS Port IME1 in action and it works as advertised.
