The static build-up on your LPs is usually caused by leaving the vacuum on too long. I am careful not to let the LP rotate more than three times. I know this sounds simplistic but give it a try. I just sold my VPI 16.5 to get a Sota record cleaner and in their literature they caution against over vacuuming because of the static with can build up on the record surface.
Static Build Up On Record Surface
I have a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine. When I use the standard VPI record cleaning fluid to clean my newly acquired records, I notice an excessive amount of static build up on the record surfaces when the newly cleaned records are played.
VPI owners, is this normal or am I doing something wrong in the cleaning process?
