Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going
With the temperature dropping and the heat kicking on that old nemesis is rearing it's ugly head again. Easily noticeable on most records lately. Especially today when I went to do some listening. I have a Hudson hi-fi Anti static dust brush contraption set up and I think it does help. I especially like how it dusts the record as it spins. But when I went to throw on a record (Mahavishnu Birds of Fire) the dust brush swung over towards the record like a shot! Hit it with the Zerostat (had forgotten to use it first) and tried placing the record on the platter again. The dust brush stayed put! Good to see the Zstat doing it's job.
But, I am considering purchasing a Furutech destat in the near future. Anyone actually use one with good results? It is a bit pricey but I'm thinking it may be a worthwhile investment.
