Tru-Sweep

I thought I would share with you the following experiments I have done to figure out how the static is generating on my LPs…

Each of the following trials were preceded with total DeStat treatment of my turntable plater, Tru-Sweep arm and tonearm, as well as a complete ZEROSTAT treatment of the LP itself.  Additionally, I should note  that I have tried grounding the  Tru-Sweep to either my Herron Phono Preamp, or my NAD C658 Streamer, without any difference.  Before the trials, no static attraction is noted between LP and Tru-Sweep….my Oracle Delphi Mark VI Gen 2 is properly grounded to the Herron, as are the 2 grounds of my Revelation audio Labs tonearm cable.

1) 30 minute spin of LP , no Tru-Sweep or tonearm used……NO appreciable static buildup
2) LP spun, Tru-Sweep ONLY, no tonearm used……HUGE static build up on LP
3) LP spun with tonearm tracking, no Tru-Sweep…….NO appreciable static build up

Therefore, I have to still think that the Tru-Sweep generates, as opposed to removes , static, as I previously suggested…
I know the developer and some reviews state otherwise, but I have repeated these trials, and they are consistent.
