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.

I need to discipline myself and just listen to music more. It sounds so good and makes me a better person.

I had a lot of older records that were full of static. Invest in a wet record cleaning machine. That will effectively kill the static and keep your grooves squeaky clean. I bought the Record Doctor. It'll set you back about $200 but worth every penny.

Milty was of no use to me.....they called it a DiscWasher AntiStatic gun then.  I'm not a fan of record cleaning machines as well.  I think they are way overpriced....yes it makes the records sound a bit better, but not worth the hastle.  I use a Hunt brush before playing records which seems to work....the stylus looks clean.

Courtesy of another thread, the proper use of the Milty anti-static gun. Also applies to the Zerostat.
