@wolfie62,
That's the same reaction I've had over the past 4 years.

Options for ridding records of static electricity
OK - I have brought this up before and it always created a strong reaction. Gruv-Glide will totally eliminate the static problem. I will not speak to whether it improves the sound or anything else. It stops the static. I no longer use it because my Basis table has a grounded spindle and it doesn’t seem to be a problem. I have never noticed any degradation in any record I used it on, and when used on a well-cleaned record, I never noticed any problems. This product is still being sold and if it hurt records or sound, I’m sure we’d be hearing about it. So you have your choice - you can fight with static, fool around with ion guns or any other PITA rituals or use GG and end the static. Your choice. Last thing - don’t confuse this with Groove Lube, which, IMO, is a sticky, horrible mess, notwithstanding the fact that I respect the guy that makes it. If you search here for Gruv Glide, you will see the pros and cons and people who were very relieved to have the issue resolved so they could relax and actually listen to music. |
@mijostyn. The LP12 is best played without the lid. I don’t know of anyone who listens seriously to the Linn that plays it with the lid on...easy to hear how it impacts the SQ negatively.Actually I do not know ANYBODY with any half way serious system that plays with the dust cover in position and down on their TT. Except Mijo......... |
Fruitloop Just click on his name and select message user. He will hook you up I am sure. If you look at my system, you will see a picture of my Avid TT with cover on it and the mat on the platter is one of Slaws MyMat https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6466 |
