    I just do it once a side, occasionally twice. but you do have to do it slowly.

    Certain types of crystals generate a votage in response to changes in mechanical pressure.When you squeeze the trigger on a Zerostat you are applying pressure to the crystal thereby generating a voltage.When you release the pressure on the trigger you reduce the pressure and thereby generate a voltage.

    According to the makers the voltages produced by squeezing the trigger and releasing the trigger generates voltages that are equal but 180 degrees out of phase with each other and thereby cancel out resulting in a charge of 0 volts ( assuming that the application and reduction of pressure on the trigger are relatively similar in speed).

    In theory the static voltage present on an LP will be far smaller than the voltage presented by the Zerostat and therefore will be neutralised.

    Same as what I said above, but I think your last sentence nicely explains what is happening, that the voltages generated by the Zerostat are far greated than those of the triboelectrically generated charge on the record.

    You could try grounding the carbon fiber brush
    You could also experiment if a ground lead to the Arm or main bearing helps, it certainly did when I had a gyro deck

    Am I alone in not cleaning a record before playing it None of my records are played before being cleaned in an Okki Nokki and put into new anti static inner sleeves.
    After playing a side of an Lp I give the stylus a gentle brush and the record goes straight back into it's sleeve. Static pops and crackles are never an issue.

    I have a new Audioquest gold carbon fibre brush which is meant to ground the static whilst you touch the gold handle but I find it does pick up more dust and debris but static seems to have increased.

    a radiator should be grounded.. earth point on a phono or TT too. could run a wire from that to hold.

    I read many years ago that if you breath gently into the inner sleeve with the record in situ after you have played it then the next time you take it out to play you will have reduced or eliminated the static, and I have found this does work .
    HI-FI SYSTEM:-
    Revox B250 Amp.
    Revox PR 99 mk2 R2R.
    Revox B126 C/D Player.
    Yamaha GT2000 T/Table with Shure MKIV Cartridge and Jeco VN-45HE SAS/R Stylus.
    Bang & Olufsen Beolab18's and the 19 Sub Speakers.

    A/V 5.1 System :-
    Soundsend Wisa box.
    Harmen Kardon front and rear satellite.

    Yes it will to a point. Higher humidity will allow the electrons to reunite reducing static.
