static Issues...anybody know why?


When I use my Lyra Delos, no static at all.  When I use my Ortofon Quintet Mono, I have to pry the record off of the platter.  Why?

Have you tried rubbing down the vinyl record with anti static laundry towelettes?
tzh21y, PVC is an electron magnet. It is very difficult to stop it from collecting them under normal record playing conditions. The best you can do is discharge them while the record is playing with the device I mention about. It costs a whopping $20 and will definitively end you problem unless you want to be like the gingerbread man and give your record a Zerostat squirt every 15 seconds while the record is playing:)
