Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops


Nothing major, but annoying.

Could it be because I was spinning old dirty vinyl which made the platter dirty/dusty?

I'm about to buy the humminguru. Does anything go well with it?

I clean Every new record I buy.  Many times new records have the most impurities/gunk/releasing agents/…whatever it is it needs to be cleaned.  After a good cleaning, suggest static reduction with Miltystat gun or something else. 

Hey, dogberry,

Are you saying the Furutech Destat III is fake junk?

???

No, but there are Furutech products that I would classify that way. The Destat III is effective and expensive. The Milty Zerostat is a bit less effective, harder to use correctly, but a lot cheaper.

What kind of mat are you using? 

I starting using an acrylic mat and static greatly reduced.
