Options for ridding records of static electricity
A humidifier in the winter and a hydrometer to keep check on the humidity 
My venture into the world if demagnitizing vinyl. Your results may vary.
My next experiment will be magnitizing a record and hear if there is a change.

Well said millercarbon.

Miller carbon. I used a bulk eraser for my experiment. I ruined a Benz cartridge with running a Bedini CD clarifier to close to it. It took a while then the hum increased to annoying levels. I did trouble shooting in my system for 6 months. I swit... 
Room temperature and audio fidelity.
I have a hydrometer and the humidity is in the 50s in the summer and 30s in the winter. I use a humidifier to bump it up to lower 40s in the winter. My tone arm will have a static discharge on my finger when it's too low.

Warning. Do not do this with your record on the TT. You will ruin your cartridge.

I listened to it before and after. I didn't touch the volume control. I'm playing Black Sabbaths debut right now and there is no difference at all. Maybe some records have impurities in the batch of vinyl. Who knows.

to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong!
I have a TOTL modern CD player and I'm always going back to my vinyl rig after a while. Like some people prefer tubes to solid state. Less accurate but easier on the ear. 
Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?
Herb Albert. 1980. 
What are the sexiest components ever made?
Tandberg. I had the 3001a and 3011a tuners, the 3008a and 3018a preamps, the 3026a amp, the 2075and 2045 receivers, the 3014 and 3014a cassette decks. 
Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers
I had a chance to get one in 2012 that was being beta tested. I regret I didn't take John up on his offer but I had just spent my money on a bigger amp. Oh well maybe I will have the funds one day to get one. He said it goes down to 16 Hz for some...
