Removing static
Posted by: apye! on 01 June 2010
Hi,
I have tried a search on this subject with no luck.
The majority of new vinyl I have bought seems to have a lot of static, on the record I mean, not through the speakers.
I use a carbon fibre brush to clean them and put them in Nagaoka anti-static sleeves, but the static is still there!!
When I remove them from the platter along comes the felt mat as well, which is not a major problem, but they attract a lot of dust which over a period of time causes crackling.
What is the best method of removing this static, are the 'guns' any good?

At the Naim factory you have to put on special footwear - I'm sure they'll explain how it works, as I can't recall all the details.
This works as recommended by Mike

The Knosti antistat works really well too.......
I already have the Knosti antistat LP cleaner, don't like the idea of cleaning new vinyl with old!
I have not got the Zerostat3 though so I think I will give one a try.
Thanks for the info guys!!
