Static electricity pulled the rubber mat right off the Turntable!

Howdy folks!

Lotta static with the TT. Rush lifted the rubber mat right off the SL Technics 1200 GR table tonight! I live in Miami Florida with a billion percent humidity.  I keep the humidity at 55 to 60 percent while I'm gone and drop it to 45 percent asap. Better grounding? Better wall socket? Pre play were dead of static. Lifting it, it's charged!

Thanks,

I have the Technics 1200G and was looking for a better sounding mat to replace the rubber one. I was also getting a bunch of static off of it.

The Funk Firm Acromat (SL-1200 version) sounds quite a bit better and has helped with static. It hasn’t removed all of it, but it is reduced quite a bit. I was really hoping for better sound, which I got, but the static reduction was a nice benefit.

I also have the Zerostat gun.  It works well.
