static Issues...anybody know why?


When I use my Lyra Delos, no static at all.  When I use my Ortofon Quintet Mono, I have to pry the record off of the platter.  Why?

You might want to try an accessory grounded sweep arm that trails the tonearm as closely as possible. 
It would be prudent to check the platter ground to verify that the grounding at the spindle is intact. Don’t expect a zero ohm reading though. 
Geoffy the fuse troll has resurfaced as geoffy the static troll and in other recent threads, geoffy the directionality troll. He is a champion of twisted thinking. 
Geoffy the Static Troll: “(for which their is virtually no friction)”

Ummm Geoffy, hel-loo, rpt, hel-loo, grab a dictionary! The word “their” is possessive, and “is virtually no friction” is not a noun. Get on the English literacy 🚂 choo choo 🚂!
