SME 20/2 Static Electricity
Follow up: I got a grounding mat yesterday and connected it to the ground on my outlet. Results? It did help. There was a dramatic decrease in static on the record. Some small amounts of static build up after playing one side but much less than before. Another thing I got is an AcousTech grounded Big Brush. https://www.musicdirect.com/analog-accessories/acoustech-big-record-brush I tried running the brush on the platter before putting the record on, and again after the record was on. The combination of the grounding mat and the Big Brush eliminated any noticeable static from the records. Even after playing a side I did not notice any static build up. I have Gruv Glide and have used it in the past, but stopped using it awhile back. It does work, but it's really expensive and I did not feel the cost was worthwhile. There you go. My take on what has worked for me. Thanks |
