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.
Thanks, very interesting. I guess that would not be good for speaker surrounds, belts on turntables, and the cartridge suspensions you mentioned. I imagine it is a slow process. I plan to research it some more.
