“It’s not good to run an ionizer continuously…” That cautionary note applies only to devices that generate ozone. The devices we’ve mentioned so far don’t produce ozone. On second thought, that plasma igniter might produce a tiny amount of ozone, but you’d not run it constantly, and the amount of ozone produced would be trivial. |
I’ve usually heard good things about the Destat 3 but too expensive for me. I’m a retired tube electronics tech (mostly tube anyway) and on a tight budget. Have built most of my equipment or at least modded it. So looking for a cheap way to accomplish this. The Ion Beam sounds pretty good and mountable but still $150. Wondering if a simple small negative ion generator like this might work. It also is not AC powered so could be near the turntable and only $60. Maybe could be mounted on the turntable frame on the opposite side away from the phono cartridge and pointing towards the record. Anyone has ideas on this? |
There is a thread of sorts at WBF about using plasma lighters to eliminate static. It is a plasma field and you hold it above the surface 1.8 inch. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/record-brushes.34195/page-2#post-772318 |
