Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable?


The problem I'm trying to solve is to rid any electrostatic charge build up in my records/LP's and the turntable.  I've looked at products designed to rid records of electrostatic charge.  In fact I own one.  However, I'm looking at getting a Simco Ion small fan and mounting it near my turntable and have it blow on the turntable when playing records.  Any harm in doing this?

I don't know how well the Acacia Beam deionizer will work on records yet. I just ordered it and expect it to arrive by the end of the month.

I will post an update after I try it.

I’ve had this in my cart for a few months now thinking it might work as well as if not better than some of the MUCH higher-priced options.

Thoughts? And don’t suggest “increase humidity, DERP!”

Increased humidity increases dust mites which increases dust mite “dander” which increases rice crispy vinyl sounds.

wind across your tonearm will cause more miss tracking than the potential benefits

Any speaker drivers moving in a room, subwoofer drivers moving, the music playing, etc can become an impediment to the pristine spinning of vinyl. The ultra sophisticated vinyl plastic conneiseurs should just throw away all their speakers and listen on headphones....lest they disturb the stupid plastic crap, as it spins around.
