One of the most fascinating findings reported by Shure in their 1978 white paper on static is that static attraction can spuriously increase VTF by as much as 3/8 of a gram (0.375 gm). So, you may not "hear" the static, but that is a significant effect on VTF that will alter sonics and wear on both the stylus and LP. I would not have believed their claim, were it not for the fact that they actually did the experiment.
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.

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. https://cleanyourgrooves.com/252-2/ |
