Yes I use anti stat spray, heard about it from another audiophile. 9.00 for a quart spray bottle from Mcmastercar.com. As good as the Nordost for a lot less. The guy I learned it from reccommended the Antistat and cleaning all connections with Chemstronics heavy duty contact cleaner. It made an unbelievable diffrence in my system.
I sprayed my cables with "Gruv Glide" a stereophile recommended accessory. Originally made to completely kill static and enhance sound on records, I sprated my kimber cables and cardas cables with it, just to see what would happen. The cables looked better, and I couldn't believe it but my system sounded better too! Several of the record, cartridge vendors in stereophile sell gruv glide, about $22 per unit but it treats about 150 lp's + your cables, so it's a real bargain. Good Luck, hope this helps - Bennett
I couldn't believe it, but the "Gruv Glide" really works well. My cables look great and I can hear the difference too. I tried static guard and it didn't work nearly as well.
I am not recommending you do this. But one tweak in this area is to remove the outer jacket from certain cables. These cables include Straightwire and Wireworld where a cheap plastic outer provides protection from the cable being stomped on. The improvement in sound is apparently largely due to the fact that the cheap plastic outer is a source of electrostatic problems. I have heard jacketed versus unjacketed versions of the same cable and the improvement is a much smoother sound. With jacket on, the sound has an artificial crispness to transients.
