Options for ridding records of static electricity

I don’t mean to be rude, being new here and all, but wow you sure are an argumentative bunch! 
@masi61  I would recommend that you test some things out for yourself... it seems you have several options from some very helpful posts. I again would recommend the Milty. Why? First off it is a trades tool that is proven to eliminate static. It’s not witch craft or snake oil designed to part record collectors from their cash. Buy one and if it doesn’t do what it’s designed for then it’s defective and you should return for another. Try a trades store, I bought mine from Screwfix in the UK but there will be equivalents worldwide I’m sure.  Ok back to records... For those records seemingly welded to the inner sleeve with static, the milty offers a very quick and effective method to reduce the static. You can test the effectiveness of the tool, and the method I suggested, by statically charging a balloon or some old damaged record before holding close to a teaspoon of ground pepper and salt. Watch it lift those grains. Now fire the milty at your chosen statically charged item... watch those grains fall. There are variations on the experiment, have some fun. Now I’m not saying that the record won’t gather static again over time (I haven’t witnessed it) but I am saying it’s sufficiently discharged for an uninterrupted playing session. This is my advice and based purely on personal experience. Finally welcome back to the wonderful world of records! Peace. J-Ro

@ masi61,

are you sure its static? I would venture to guess you have not cleaned all the crud out of the grooves. Doing so will really lower the noise floor.

jro1903, yes the Zerostat works but the trick is eliminating static formation
period. Any time your record develops a static charge it is drawing in dust and pollution like a magnet. 
Interesting orthomed. Isolating the record from the platter stopped the static formation. Can you fine out what the platter is made of? Both cartridges use a non conductive boron cantilever. I do not think the Achromat is discharging the record. I think it is isolating it from the platter. If the material the platter is made from is high in the triboelectric series that would explain your problem. 
Most of my records are in rice paper sleeves but I still find an occasional one in paper. Last night I pulled out Dylan's Nashville Skyline. I have not played it for several years. Sure enough it had a pretty decent charge on it. All my records are discharged during play. They always go back in the sleeve in neutral condition but this one developed a charge over two years just sitting in my collection!! My records are stored in a special compartmentalized record cabinet. They are packed in so there is always some compression but not so tight that they are hard to remove. This Keeps the records flat. I know that putting a record into a sleeve then pulling it out at a humidity of 54% does not create a measurable static charge. This would leave me to believe that under pressure for a prolonged period of time paper will transfer electrons to PVC without rubbing. 
The conclusion is there are multiple ways records collect static leading to multiple solutions. The first is put all your records in anti static sleeves. Sleeves that will not transfer electrons to vinyl. I just ordered another 50 from Sleeve City to get the stragglers. 

Lewm, sorry I missed your last post. 1:250 is a huge transformer. The 1:100 Sowter transformer is very large and is +- 3 dB 50 Hz to 18 kHz.
I cross over to subs at 125 Hz which is quite high. 500 Hz is well into the midrange. 256 Hz is about middle C. 
I have not had the chance to open up a Sound Labs interface yet. Can you just wire around the controls to eliminate them from the circuit without modifying the cross over network? I do not like pots in speakers signal path. Bi amping the transformers is an interesting approach. If I do Sound Labs I will try to wire past the controls and use one big amp like an Atma- Sphere MA 2. I will be able to correct any response aberrations with room control.
