Recommended cork platter for my SL 1200 GR Technics TT
This is a totally subjective opinion, but it seems to me there are two kinds of static electricity that develop in connection with playing records. The first is static that develops on the record service itself as a result of playing. That is the form of static that could conceivably interact with the cartridge so as to affect its performance. Second is static that the user brings to the turntable when he walks across the floor to touch the LP or change the LP. That latter source of static charge build up May or may not be a problem with respect to actually playing LPs. Since the second source of static electric charge build up is impossible to separate from that which occurs during the playing of an LP, it is difficult to know when you have a problem. But I do advocate any and all of the curers that have been advocated by previous contributors to this thread. |
bpolettiGrab a small allen wrench (usually plenty around audio equipment) and MUTE THE SYSTEM. Touch the allen wrench to the preamp chassis to discharge any static" This is such silly advise there is nothing magic about an Allan wrench there is no reason to use an Allan wrench at all in this circumstance unless you need an Allan wrench to mute your system which is just about impossible a requirement you can just touch the chassis with your hand its probably a better conducter than the wrench! |
