Zerostat Milty really?

What are the differences before and after applied Milty or spray when saying works well? Is the sonic difference or sparkless? I never use Pfan-stat spray and do not know what it contains. Be wise about whatever put on the record since the cartridge will pick it up as well. We may not see the impact in a short term.

Each time I try a new method of cleaning my LPs I examine the stylus under a microscope after 2 sides and again after a few days. Pfan-stat passes the test and the Milty gun doesn't leave anything on the LP that is not sub-molecular.

I judge these things' effectiveness by sound and the obvious evidence elimination of static, such as visible attraction of dust and the hair on my arms. I also ground my TT chassis; which is a whole different thing than the ground wire in the phono cable. Those of you with hairless arms can take a small piece of Styrofoam packing material and place it near the underside of an LP. Hit it with the Milty gun and see if it drops off.

It is good that you monitoring stylus after applied Pfan-stat using a microscope. When looking into record cleaning machines on the market, some of them are talking about deep cleaning needed for the chemical residue for the new records coming out from the factory. I assume that you can see the chemical residue on stylus under the microscope. I am taking a different path. I avoid using record fluid when cleaning my record (using distilled water only) unless necessary. I am very careful about the cartridge cleaning and record cleaning fluids after re-tip my cartridge (and got comments from dealer) a few years back. 

The anti-static gun (Milty) is effective for neutralizing the pre-exist static on the record before playing. The Pfan-stat is good for avoiding the static build-up during record playing. Then, you are covered and will not need to use the electrode. https://midwesttungsten.com/2-thoriated-1-16-x-7-red-wt20-tungsten-electrodes-10-pack/ But, It is always fun to try different kinds of stuff.

Please be careful when installing the electrode so close when playing your collectible record with the costly cartridge. It will be great if you can share the result after using the electrode.

I will. I am thinking I can bastardize an old dust bug to make it safer. The dust bug creates static and causes more problems than it solves, even though it has a ground wire. I think using the ground wire with the electrode would be counterproductive, as we want all the positrons to stay near the LP and not drain down the wire. 

My turntable is an Oracle Alexandria MK III, so it has suspension towers so I can use the same approach as in @helomech's post, also.

Tried not to say this. But, I will be surprised if the electrode way works besides psychologically. I do not see how the positron got generated on the electrode. Even it does,  the gap between the electrode and record just way too big unless you have a tremendous amount of static on record. The same principle (gap too big) applies if grounding the electrode. I can be wrong.
