Tone arm ghost


I have so much static built up in my vinyl system. It is so bad that when i remove the record from the mat the static pulls the tonearm off of its resting post. What can be done about this?

What turntable is it? See if there is a way to ground the bearing. It will reduce static. 
Cork ain't the greatest anti-static mat...as it is standard on the VPI machines which will give a static charge in some cases.

On your NG machine.. how many revolutions do you use to dry a lp? The less the better
Using Nitty Gritty machine and I clean records periodically. Table is a Thorens TD-124 circa 1960. I am using a cork slip mat. Never ever wear tennis shoes. No carpets anywhere. 
More info needed....

Do you clean your lps?
How do you clean them"
What material is your platter made of?
Don't wear tennis shoes, especially in the winter, if you have a carpeted area.



Zerostat. Humidifiers. Touch a ground before touching turntable. Stop wearing man-made cloths. Carpet?
