@fromunda I use a Milty Zerostat every time I play a record after the Discwasher brush which is treated on the leading edge only with Discwasher D4+ fluid. I’ve found it very effective in neutralizing static charges that used to cause ticks and pops. My environment is 22 •C with between 30% and 40% RH, and a Technics SL-1700mk2 with original 6mm rubber platter mat, so I have pretty much ideal conditions to begin with. One reason you might be experiencing no results is the Zerostat test plug might still be attached to the business end of the Zerostat when you are using it. The test plug is only to confirm that the piezoelectric element is producing electrical charges, and must be removed before attempting to neutralize static on a record. By the way, it will neutralize static charges on any object, including the platter and dustcover.
Zerostat Milty really?
Ok. So I have massive amounts of static at times when playing vinyl. So much so that it can pull my arm from my table (Thorens TD-124) onto the platter when removing the lp. I am worried I will ruin my stylus when it hits. So I bought the Zerostat and have been using it according to the instructions and the static is still out of control. Is this thing for real or what? Am I doing something wrong? Please help.
