If you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on the CS Port or DS Audio gadgets, a Zerostat, used as directed, will remove the static electric charge from an LP surface just prior to playing,for much less money. Do not assume that any kind of de-static tool or technique, no matter how costly, is a permanent cure. You have to de-stat prior to each play, in an environment such as yours. Then you have to de-stat again, when you flip the LP over.
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.
