Zerostat


I do not own a record cleaning machine yet. But i do plan to get one. I dry brush them with a carbon fibre brush for the moment before a playing. I do notice when lifting a record I have played off the turntable platter I get static electricity. Does anyone have experience with a Zerostat and does it work?

The Zerostats, but here's a tip for using your carbon brush so it's even more effective than a Zerostat:

Make sure your hands are dry, and (sorry) lick your fingertips before gripping the aluminum part of the brush (that holds the bristles.) while brushing the record, touch the other hand (or finger thereof) to a good ground (back panel of a component or a chassis screw, you get it I'm sure) That will drain off all the static from the vinyl. I've been doing it for years, and it really works!
