If you're not against it on moral grounds, Gruv Glide really eliminates static charge. I can't say it improves or hurts the sound, but it licks the static problem. If you live in a dry climate, it makes playing records much easier. I find that one application lasts a very long time. There will be some gunk on the stylus for the first play, but after that, everything is cool. Good luck.
Using Brillianize remove Static
I have been having problems with static discharge every time I remove a record from the turntable. I have a Zero-Stat gun, and anti-static brush but they don't solve this problem for me (My experience). I came across a product called: Brillianize, and it seems to do the trick when I tried it on my VPI Classic. I sprayed some Brillianize on the aluminum platter, then wipe it dry. I then play a few records and notice that there was no more static when I change records. I don't know how good Brillianize is as a record cleaner, because I did not spray it on the record. I also called the company to ask about Brillianize and I was told that they know of people using it to clean records, but I did not take that as an endorsement. If anyone is using Brillianize as a cleaner please let us know your experience with it.
