Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going

Just add humidity.

I place a couple of large/wide/shallow enameled metal bowls out when we have Santa Ana winds and/or start using the heat and let the filtered tap water evaporate.

One placed in the main bedroom and one in the living room (both placed on the tops of fairly high 5'+ cabinets due to our cats).

Aside from Hi-fi stuff I also sleep/breathe better .

I used to use an ultrasonic humidifier, but got tired of cleaning/sterilizing it between fills.

The evaporative bowls work just as well.

Thank you for the recommendations. I like the black monolith. These days, it is nice to have stuff that looks nice as well as is functional. Very enjoyable after a life of compromising on looks for greater performance, finally having both. Very rewarding.

OP the Furutech destat is worth the investment, I have one.

Thanks for the tip on the Hudson. I’ll verify the carbon fiber is touching. It does a good job of picking up any dust that may have lighted since I put the record down. I think the Hudson is de-staticing the surface. My problem, like you, is the underside. My turntable has a Linn mat, is wool?… well, highly static inducing, whatever it is made of. It will stick to the album sometimes. I have researched other mats and decided to stay with the Linn mat anyway. 

OK, in comparison to you, I have no static problem. Wow, that is a lot of static! You are definitely the expert.

@ghdprentice , come on ghd! I'm much better looking the @mikelavigne :-)

Yes, when the spark jumps to the cartridge it makes quite a "pop" if you have the volume up. When I had a Linn I used carpet tape to keep the mat in place. It is very thin and you won't notice it under the mat.
