SME 20/2 Static Electricity

I use a grounding mat and it gets rid of all static.  You just touch it first before touching the turntable.  It comes in a 12 inch sheet and you can cut it to size.  The ground wire goes to the screw that holds the cover on your outlet.  Easy peazy.

My advise for the grounding mat is an easy one, it only cost 15.00 and no need to spray anything or buy a humidifier. It is a no brainer. In the 7 years I have used it, I have never had a problem with static zapping my system. I cut the mat down to 3" by 3" and have it sticking out from under the turntable at the top of my audio rack.  It is held down by 3M double sided tape and does not move but is easily removable.

My solution cost $15.00 and works, how much does the vinyl ionizer  contraption cost?

I invite anyone to come to my house and give the grounding mat a try.  There will be a nice hot steamy plate of crow waiting for you afterwards.
