When this is a problem for me, I use a photographers anti-static brush. If you apply the brush to the turning record, it will dissapate the charge very quickly. If you can find a Kostiner, buy that one as doesn't need maintenance to remain effective. The old standby StaticMaster brushes work fine and are easy to find, but the need a periodic recharge with a new cartridge of encapsulated polonium 210. Sounds scary, but the stuff is contained in a way that is safe. The Zerostat gun also does the same thing in a bulkier package.
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? ? ? ? ?
