How necessary is a zerostat gun?

I use mine more or less; more when it's needed, less when it's not.

Such light-heartedness may seem a fearful risk, but I'm willing to play dice with that particular universe.

I gave mine to a friend. Although I have major static electricity problems all winter (mostly solved by a SERIOUS room humidifier) I found the Zerostat of little help. Dave

Zerostat removes some static only Furutech DeStat snh-2 removes all static it is 100% effective.A must for better record playback.

A little trick I use is get some Endust for Electronics and clean your platter and the lid and plinth. It prevents static. I'm also using a cork platter too. It helps too. Make sure you use a soft cloth and keep it away from your cartridge styus.

I often use it before I play an LP when there is static, and I always use it after I play an LP so that dust stays off as I slide it back into the MOFI inner sleeve.
