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? ? ? ? ?

Also, make sure it is a record you haven't played for 6mos. or so, otherwise the static may have been created on the last go 'round.
I had the exact same problem, static every time I lifted the record off the platter, and when I touched the peripheral ring weight on the platter after playing the side, snap crackle pop. I have a VPI s'master and I was using as a phono cable, Analysis Solo Crystal rca-rca. I recently purchased a Hovland Groove 2 phono cable and PRESTO no more static. TOTALY gone. Could it be the shielding in the cable? Go figure.
I received a kenetronics model sw141 with the ground wire on monday, and this brush works fantastic. It doesnt just push the dust around the lp. This brush picks dust up.
I was having the same problem with my Oracle and ended up running a ground to the outlet from my preamp. That seems to have cured the problem.
Simply hold the lp on edge, against the inside of your hand and chest. With your free hand, tap the label area several times (sharply - like you mean business), then proceed to play the record. You will enjoy a static-free performance every time.
