Does Furutech lose effectiveness over time?

Do you measure static after or before cleaning (if you do it each time) a record? My habits for old or new records is:

- washing with the Degritter machine 

- using (on hand not on the TT) the Furutech Destat

- cleaning with AudioQuest brush on the platter

- using the HiFi Flux Turbo 2.0

Then I start listening to.

IMO the most effective results come from cleaning. It seems that click and pops may almost disappear. If I use only the Destat III clicks and pops reappear after one or two tracks spinning.

Actually, thanks for the question and input folks,  I was wondering the same thing with my Destat III, cheers. 

@lucapelliccioli  I measure static after the record is cleaned. I use an ultrasonic cleaning method also. I only clean my records once, not every time I play them. They are stored in anti-static record sleeves. Most pops and clicks are from dirt and dust material in the record grooves. The Destat will not remove this.

It might be your record cleaning solution.  If you apply a topical anti-static solution I would look there first. I have no static problem at all after discontinuing some solutions. Records attract no dust and require no cleaning

"Records attract no dust and require no cleaning"

Dear Kelly, I beg to differ. LPs develop significant static charge on their surfaces. And static charge attracts dust and holds it until the charge is dissipated. There are several causes, such as removing and replacing the LP in a paper sleeve (the friction that occurs because of sliding contact between paper and vinyl can induce a charge) and transfer by touch of the static charge on our bodies that develops when we walk across a wool carpet to approach the turntable, to the LP. These phenomena are well documented; it’s not just a matter of my opinion. What treatments or preventatives really work well to prevent or dissipate existing charge, now there’s the rub and the meat of many arguments. Shure Corporation showed that static charge can increase VTF by as much as 0.25 to 0.5g (somewhere in there; I forget their exact calculation).
