In addition to addressing the environmental issues mentioned above, it is helpful to have a record brush grounded to a nearby electrical outlet. You can either make one yourself (brush with metal handle and attached wire to nearby outlet) or buy one such as that sold by Mapleshade. I bought one after rigging one up myself to be sure it would help. Works for me. Just use it in every record side before and after playback. Hope this helps.
Zerostat Milty really?
Ok. So I have massive amounts of static at times when playing vinyl. So much so that it can pull my arm from my table (Thorens TD-124) onto the platter when removing the lp. I am worried I will ruin my stylus when it hits. So I bought the Zerostat and have been using it according to the instructions and the static is still out of control. Is this thing for real or what? Am I doing something wrong? Please help.
