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?

Next thing you know they’ll be saying static electric charge on CDs comes from a stylus and friction from paper sleeves. 😬
OK geoffkait, you are either kidding or totally out to lunch. Anybody care to comment on which it might be? Anybody care to make a comment on why tonearms skate? I can't bear it. Somebody out there might even believe him! The tone arm is not subject to centripetal force because it is not moving. If Geoff were sitting on the record spinning with it he would be subjected to centripetal force and who knows, might do him some good. Tonearms skate to the middle of the record. Because the tonearm is offset (bent) friction of the stylus in the groove pulls the arm towards the center causing the stylus to lean on the left channel (inside groove).
This tendency is counteracted by the anti skating device.
This friction also generates thousands of volts of static electricity in just a few minutes. Pulling records in and out of sleeves does not generate static electricity. It is transferred to the sleeve from a hyper charged record and maybe by somebody like geoffkait who is full of static. 
Why not just uze Zerostat before you play any record ?
Did you ever try ? First advise in this thread is the best!  
The force 🔜 of Friction on the stylus in the groove is tangent to the direction toward the center of the record. So the force of friction on the stylus can be thrown out. 🗑
