Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going


With the temperature dropping and the heat kicking on that old nemesis is rearing it's ugly head again.  Easily noticeable on most records lately.  Especially today when I went to do some listening.  I have a Hudson hi-fi Anti static dust brush contraption set up and I think it does help.  I especially like how it dusts the record as it spins.  But when I went to throw on a record (Mahavishnu Birds of Fire) the dust brush swung over towards the record like a shot!  Hit it with the Zerostat (had forgotten to use it first) and tried placing the record on the platter again.  The dust brush stayed put!  Good to see the Zstat doing it's job.  

But, I am considering purchasing a Furutech destat in the near future.  Anyone actually use one with good results?  It is a bit pricey but I'm thinking it may be a worthwhile investment.

Lighting Candles especially Beeswax ones produce Negative Ions, which is a Natural Ioniser.

A sereness felt within a building such as a place of worship, is attributed to being manifested as a result of the Candles Ionising effect.  

The Item in the Link has been reported as suitable over quite a long period and has good appraisal from found reports.

As a Method, it certainly is not the one that will cost the most to try out. 

 

A $4 Anti-Static Tool can be very much like the one seen in the link.

 

 

I use a Brush with COREBRID B Fibres that are a Mitsubishi produced material, that have Properties that will reduce Static.

The fibres are very fine, and the Sales Spiel is claiming the fibres are able to go deep into the Groove. I am not sure if the depth a Brush Fibre can enter into the Groove has any value to removal of Static. 

The Brush I bought was quite a bit cheaper than a Furutech Version.

 

The ASB Brush is also available from Yukimu, which is a cheaper option to get the COREBRID B fibres on the brush.
