There was a recent thread on this and someone suggested dryer sheets (rubbing your hands on them before touching gear). I was prevously spraying static guard on my carpet in front of the turntable. The dryer sheets worked but when we got hit with some nasty weather, they didn't have much of an effect. The static guard does a decent job but you need to constantly apply it on the rug. I am currently looking into antistatic mats, but not for under my turntable but on the carpet infront of the rack.
Static Control Will A Mat Help
I have a huge static problem with my vinyl, especially after cleaning on a RCM.
I live in Florida and the static build up on my albums is so much that when I remove the LP from the TT you can see the charge jump to the Arm Mounting assembly.
I was going to invest in a Zerost but then had the bright idea that maybe an anti Static mat under the TT may eliminate the problem.
I tried a “platter mat” totally ineffective
Any thoughts
