I've been cleaning my records for many years with my VPI 16.5 and Torumat Fluid. I don't know why, but the Torumat Fluid pretty much eliminates static electricity. After cleaning, the record gets a new rice paper sleeve. This technique removed the problem entirely.
Eliminating static electricity from albums??
In an attempt to eliminate some of the popping sounds on lps that are caused by static electricity, I use a zerostat gun as the final step of record cleaning. Are there other ways to solve this problem??
The zerostat gun is effective but rather expensive; and, I find that they seem to be programed for rather short life spans. would appreciate your views on how you handle static electricity and your opinions/suggestions on the zerostat device. Thanks for your responses.
