Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static


Hi everyone,

I've recently bought a PRC4 to upgrade from my previous PHK RCM (typical vacuum-based design).

I decided to use the same 3-step process I was using before, only using the L'Art du Son fluid. I'm using MoFi Enzyme cleaner, L'Art and MoFi Pure Rinse.

I'm getting tons of static on the Loricraft. Major cracking sounds when removing the record from the platter on it. Records don't sound clean because of this, and the felt mat on my TT is getting stuck to them, a problem I never had before. They were always pretty much static-free with my previous RCM, and I was expecting the Loricraft to do even better in that regard, based on all the positive feedback it gets.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Gruv Glide will eliminate the static. I'm not convinced it improves the sound of a clean record, but it really clears up the static issue for a long period of time. It cleans off if you can't live with it from a philosophical point of view. Personally, I think the lack of static make the disc collect less dust and makes vinyl an easier experience. My 2 cents, anyway.
