Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?

Bigtwin not really the same, I've borrowed a Destat III and I'll admit it worked for maybe 5 minutes the effect quickly wears off. The other 2 static eliminators continously throw out those neg ions while your LP is spinning although at a significant cost.

when using the DS Audio ION-001 Vinyl ionizer or the CS Port Static Eliminator IME1 upon removing the record from the platter. I’ll bet the static charge is back.

Yes I'm sure the static would return when removing the LP but at that point who cares? Just saying

Have now seen one of the CS Port ionizers in action and wow it does work. These are all sold out but I'll get one after saving some pennies.

Well as you stated lewm that's CSPORT & DSAUDIO hypothesis right or wrong. It makes sense that some of the static would be caused by the cartridge "dragging" in the Grove but I'm sure there is more to it than that.
