I have two room humidifiers (and one on the furnace) and have tried everything under the sun to reduce or eliminate my static problems. At the moment they're not troublesome, but in dry summer and winter periods the only thing that will really work is a dust bug type device wrapped with anti-static copper tinsel (sold only in 72-foot minimum lengths unfortunately). If you find the dust bug and want to try this, I'll be happy to send you some. I also have a length of the same stuff connected from a screw on my linestage to the center screw on a wall outlet. Oh, and you might try wearing leather-soled shoes when approaching the turntable. I know, sounds weird. Good luck, Dave (BTW, I found the Zerostat/Ionoclast devices next to worthless if the static problem is severe.)
Static on Vinyl
Here is my greif...............
I am getting some major static electricity every time
I remove an LP from my Turntable platter.
Here is my setup:
The platter is a Teres coccabolo (hardwood)
& I get the static with or without using my Herbies way excellent turntable mat.
I installed a grounding conductor screwed to the brass
platter spindle & grounded it to the tubed preamp & no
change.
I also use a Mapleshade Ionoclast static buster on the vinyl just before dropping the stylus, & still the bloody
static is their when I pull the vinyl from the platter
after the LP has gone thru the grooves.
any thoughts? ? ? ? ?
