Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable?

Your anti-skate might not like it. Pre-treating should be enough for a single play.

If you have a Zero-stat gun, open the record sleeve and zap the ions onto the record before taking it out. Record won't attract floating dust when taken out of the sleeve.

A two minute session with an ionizer before playing music might be all you need.

Ny experience with ionizers is that they cause dust to precipitate around them.  In other words they cause airborne dust to settle out of the air, I imagine on your LP.

wind across your tonearm will cause more miss tracking than the potential benefit.

pre-treatment does not last a full side.

i have 3 turntables, and three anti-static ionizers that project negative ions on the pressing as it turns. but no air movement. they are not cheap.

dweller - I have a Zero Stat gun.  Good suggestion.  I'll try it.

erik_squires - point well taken.  Still might be worth trying

Mikelavigne - I'm assuming the "fan" is more like a very gentle breeze, but your point is well taken.  What is the name of your anti-static ionizer?  I have a $20K turntable - not cheap to me.
