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.

Yes, you are listening to the effects of carpet, and everything else
in your room.

With 4000 posts you must think you're wise and accomplished.
Why make a blanket (carpet) statement without personally
treating your carpet?  Do you talk about fo.Q tape or HFTs without
trying them?

Do not do this: Spray anti static material, away from electronics, from waist height,
to moisten carpet.  Walk on the carpet so the spray can penetrate.

After a few minutes, vacuum with a good quality machine.  You will hear a difference.  For the better.

Also use a Walker Talisman, on hands and knees.  And treat your ceiling and walls with the wand.

Or do you think this would be a waste of your time, too?
