Help Anti Static Brush creates MORE static


Help! I am using an audioquest anti static brush to dust of my records BUT when I use it, as the needle is dropping down a series of loud static pops occur, and in addition during playback loud static pops occur. Sometimes I get these static pops after brushing a record before the needles even touching the record.

btw - On the same records, when I wet clean (using vpi hw16.5) this DOES NOT OCCUR. What's going on here? I figured I would use the brush for recently cleaned records, but its completely unusable. any ideas /suggestions re static greatly appreciated

Many thanks - will try these suggestions tonight, also my 'table is a rega p25 with the stock cables that includes the grounding directly 'in' the rca cable. not usre why they chose to do that and I wonder if it's adding to static problems......
