| Turntable Isolation Or build a plywood box at least 6 inches deep and wide enough and long enough to accommodate your TT with a few inches to spare on all 4 sides. Then fill it with beach sand. Then sit your TT on a slab of wood, any wood, that is resting on the surf... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative What I actually said was just a quote from the Shure Corporation white paper on static charge. They observed that if you neutralize only one side of an LP the charge on the other side will migrate to the treated side. I would have to review that... | |
| phono stage help please. Most who have heard both say xp15 is superior to Xono. So if Xono is superior to Aleph, as per the above opinion, you have your answer. | |

| Experience with Glanz MH-10Bt? Luxman PD-171A The Koetsu Urushi loves high effective mass. This is not a subtle need. It almost doesn't matter how good the tonearm is as much as high effective mass does matter. I use an Ortofon LH9000 headshell (18g) on a Fidelity Research FR64S. That combi... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative Most likely you are using the zerostat incorrectly. There's no shame in that. Zapping an LP inside its wrapper or sleeve, whether paper or whatever, is never going to work. One reason your LP may stick to your felt mat is that felt itself is a g... | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool Mijostyn, is it really true that most tonearms are mounted incorrectly regarding P2S distance? I would have thought that overhang was the most common error. The very first and really only important thing to do when mounting a new tonearm is to get... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops I have never seen a cartridge that came with a written spec for anti-skate. And I doubt AS has anything to do with the JJ problem of ticks and pops. Of course if he’s applying way too much AS, that’s a problem per se. | |

| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Zerostat is not a record cleaner. The trick is to clean an LP before play without charging it up or to disperse the charge after cleaning.Zerostat helps in the latter case. | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative But it is the act of removing the LP from its paper sleeve that does the most to generate a charge on its surface. So you would have to zap it again, once you removed it from the paper. Which makes it a waste of time to zap it in the sleeve, even... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative GHD, How many Zerostats did you own, and how did you use them (and why so many)? I found that my Zerostat does not work on an LP mounted on the platter, using my static electricity meter as evidence. However, it does work if you hold the LP in one... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative newfzx7, I think Raul was simply urging you to go ahead and buy the arc lighter. I don’t think he meant or communicated anything offensive. But if you do buy the arc lighter, keep in mind that it contains a wear-able element that will eventually n... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative dweller, IIRC, I bought my Zerostat in 1972, in the UK. So you think I got one of the "strong" ones? I don't recall ever seeing sparks. | |
| Rega P10 with Apheta 3 My wife and I have separate financial lives. Separate hers, mine, and ours checking accounts. (We do share the same investment advisor, but we have separate accounts there too.) Each month I transfer an amount from my checking to the joint account... |
