As far as using a conductive mat, that sounds reasonable, but I have an aluminum platter, grounded, and still static accumulates on the disc, discharging when I remove after playing. Apparently the disc itself is such a good insulator that the top surface builds up a charge even when the bottom of the disc is grounded. Zerostat cures this, but it would be more convenient if I could find a treatment that made the surface slightly conductive . . .
Static Control Will A Mat Help
I have a huge static problem with my vinyl, especially after cleaning on a RCM.
I live in Florida and the static build up on my albums is so much that when I remove the LP from the TT you can see the charge jump to the Arm Mounting assembly.
I was going to invest in a Zerost but then had the bright idea that maybe an anti Static mat under the TT may eliminate the problem.
I tried a “platter mat” totally ineffective
Any thoughts
