Zerostat Milty really?
@2channel8, It is good to know that you have lots of fun of improving the static issues on your system. The stereo system is about seeking musical paradise and everyone taking the different paths. There is none fit all and the best than others. Th...

The good grounding is the prerequisite for the new Audioquest (or similar) brushes to be effective. The typical human body resistance ranging from hundred ohms to hundred kilo ohms depends on conditions. It certainly not as good as a grounding wir...

@lewm, I am glad that you found this article interesting and helpful. I have read and benefited from it for years. Since people participating are from different backgrounds, I tried not to get into technical details, but focusing on audiophile/son...

The SHURE published a research report about "charges on record" at 80's (http://www.shure.com/americas/support/find-an-answer/high-fidelity-phonograph-cartridge-technical-se...). It is a good read if you really want to get to the bottom of static...

(1) Controlling humidity - This will help.(2) A brush with a ground wire - Not all the brushes the same. You may need something like this to work well. (http://www.analogueseduction.net/anti-static-solutions-cleaning-cloths/furskfil.html)(3) Inges...

@2channel8, it is good to know that the electrodes working well for you. The cartridge is such a sensitive device (measures from few milli-volts to sub-milli-volts). The static measures mostly from hundreds of volts. The typical thickness of recor...

@skiroe and @lowrider57 may talk about a different issue. A functional Zerostat gun is capable of generating a certain amount positron, but not enough to zep the spark (a large amount of static). A large amount of static needs a very strong an-sta...

Tried not to say this. But, I will be surprised if the electrode way works besides psychologically. I do not see how the positron got generated on the electrode. Even it does,  the gap between the electrode and record just way too big unless you h...

It is good that you monitoring stylus after applied Pfan-stat using a microscope. When looking into record cleaning machines on the market, some of them are talking about deep cleaning needed for the chemical residue for the new records coming out...

What are the differences before and after applied Milty or spray when saying works well? Is the sonic difference or sparkless? I never use Pfan-stat spray and do not know what it contains. Be wise about whatever put on the record since the cartrid...

I tend to agree with whart on static issues. The static is easy to generate but very difficult to kill. After static got generated, they stay on both sides of the record. This is why you still feel the pull or hear the spark after neutralized the ...
