SME 20/2 Static Electricity


I love my 20/2 but I get a lot of static electricity on the platter, especially in the winter.  
Maybe a platter mat will help.  Anyone had this issue and resolved it?  
I'm considering one of the many static removing devices as well. 
I never had this much static on either of the Clearaudio decks I owned previously.  Must be something related to platter material?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would not spray static guard on equipment.  If you have carpet, a light spray on the carpet will help to reduce the static buildup that you develop from walking across the carpet.  The best overall approach is a humidifier, get a good cold air humidfier and put distilled water in it (to prevent mineral deposits from the evaporating water).
