Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?


There are 2 that I know of the DS Audio ION-001 Vinyl ionizer or the CS Port Static Eliminator IME1. Are they worth the asking price?

Lance, in your unit, does it have plates inside that you have to clean periodically?

If anyone is selling a Nagaoka Kilavolt No 103 please Let me know.  Thanks!

The ad for CC Port says “static electricity is caused by cartridge friction.” So far as can be determined by a search for actual data, that’s incorrect. DS Audio make the same claim in their ad copy. Doesn’t matter if both products perform, but it’s good to seek a valid hypothesis.

Well as you stated lewm that's CSPORT & DSAUDIO hypothesis right or wrong. It makes sense that some of the static would be caused by the cartridge "dragging" in the Grove but I'm sure there is more to it than that.
