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? ? ? ? ?

Bydlo, I was not aware that ionized air makes cartridge suspension rubber decay faster. Could you please elaborate on this? Thanks.
Thanks, very interesting. I guess that would not be good for speaker surrounds, belts on turntables, and the cartridge suspensions you mentioned. I imagine it is a slow process. I plan to research it some more.
