static Issues...anybody know why?

Geoffy the Static Troll: “(never get into tecknical argumints )”

Ummm Geoffy, hel-loo, rpt, hel-loo, grab a dictionary! The word “technical” doesn't have a 'k' in it, and 'mint' is a thing you eat, although not after 'argu'. Get on the English literacy 🚂 choo choo 🚂!

Ha Ha! You put a little bait in the hook and look who bites. Another Inglish Major. 🤗

its back darn it....

Have you tried rubbing down the vinyl record with anti static laundry towelettes?

tzh21y, PVC is an electron magnet. It is very difficult to stop it from collecting them under normal record playing conditions. The best you can do is discharge them while the record is playing with the device I mention about. It costs a whopping $20 and will definitively end you problem unless you want to be like the gingerbread man and give your record a Zerostat squirt every 15 seconds while the record is playing:)
