I had the exact same problem, static every time I lifted the record off the platter, and when I touched the peripheral ring weight on the platter after playing the side, snap crackle pop. I have a VPI s'master and I was using as a phono cable, Analysis Solo Crystal rca-rca. I recently purchased a Hovland Groove 2 phono cable and PRESTO no more static. TOTALY gone. Could it be the shielding in the cable? Go figure.
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? ? ? ? ?
