@antinn "Just to clarify, what neutralizes the static on the record is the ionized air that the device produces when it creates the blue-arc. The same concept of ionizing the air is how the Milty Zerostat™ 3 Anti-static Gun works. When air is ionized, there is a chance of producing ozone, but in this case very little ozone is generated."
Thanks for setting me straight, Neil. I knew the answer, but got the 2 parts of the equation jumbled.
@lewm Forgive my ignorance. The result is the same, though. I've used the Zerostat and have a Furustat deStat II. The Ronxs lighter is far better than both of them, in my experience. And a lot less expensive. Thank you for that suggestion, Neil.
@whart I also use the Tigercloth instead of a fiber brush, also thanks to Neil's suggestion. I tried washing them, but under UV light, there was still a bunch of detritus on the cloth. So I replace it every 4 months or so.I also have found that the bare foot approach works best to minimize static charge as I too have several rugs I must traverse from record rack to turntable.
