| Zerostat Zerostats come in real handy on dry winter days. You can also use them to zap cables. I wouldn't be without one. | |

| Record-playing Rituals? Scottht, I would check out LAST record presevative and Stylast as well. I have records I've played over and over: no wear, no clicks, no pops. As far as Stylast is concered the only people who don't like it sell cartidges for a living. You do have... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I had a jug of VPI cleaner turn green. Plus Harry recomends adding alcohol. A big no-no. I bought some Disc Doctor solution. It works fine and is claimed to have a indefinate shelf life. I like the VPI 16.5, but I'd steer clear of VPI cleaners. | |
