Dont be so sure a Humidifier will work, I use one right next to my deck and it wont cure platter static, I got my dad a Zerostat for a birthday gift but couldnt afford my own, so next I am going to try my own gun. To be honest my Humidifier isnt a very expensive unit...$65.00 but being on fixed income I do what I can so another unit may help more than mine does. I only really have trouble with pulling off the platter so Stat gun should be perfect for my needs.
Static on Vinyl
Here is my greif...............
I am getting some major static electricity every time
I remove an LP from my Turntable platter.
Here is my setup:
The platter is a Teres coccabolo (hardwood)
& I get the static with or without using my Herbies way excellent turntable mat.
I installed a grounding conductor screwed to the brass
platter spindle & grounded it to the tubed preamp & no
change.
I also use a Mapleshade Ionoclast static buster on the vinyl just before dropping the stylus, & still the bloody
static is their when I pull the vinyl from the platter
after the LP has gone thru the grooves.
any thoughts? ? ? ? ?
