Not to change the subject, but since we are talking about record noise and static, I bought a anti static blower on ebay at 60.00 or 70.00 dollars. I rigged it up to a computer monitor arm and run it on low over the record as it is playing. I hear a vast improvement in the reduction of tics and pops along with a lower noise floor. I use it everytime!
Flux HiFI Electronic Stylus Cleaner
I treated myself to the Flux HIFI electronic stylus cleaner. I knew I had to get over the $150 price tag and just give it a try--I can always return it to Music Direct.
Well, the thing works as advertised. The result in sound quality was surprising. Even though I thought I had great cartridge hygiene, the Flux shows me my methods are not as good as I thought.
I highly recommend this product if you enjoy vinyl. I have to think in addition to sound quality I would see a better stylus life and less record wear.
