Gruv Glide totally kills static. I have posted about this several times if you want to search. Makes playing records much more enjoyable if you have major static issues.
Rein in the winter static
Winter is here and my furnace is running, the house is dry. Playing records is a nightmare. I have a VPI prime table with the stock felt mat. The static is so bad that the mat clings to record when I remove it.
I'm also concerned about sending a static charge through the system. Any suggestions for controlling static during the winter months? I'm also wondering if a cork mat would be less conducive to static.
