| Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right??? If static is your main issue, I can highly recommend Gruv-Glide. Nothing I've used (to include zero-stat, LAST, etc.) removes, prevents or neutralizes static as well as Gruv-Glide. We took various field effect meters & the like and measured it... | |

And I can definitely say I hear an improvement with the Gruv-Glide.I have taken 2 of the same records and don... | |
