    I had one years ago, I’m not sure what happened to it? But I bought another a few years back, about the same time I bought a RCM. After vacuuming a record, it creates static. Air rushing over vinyl makes static, I can tell because the vinyl sleeves are attracted to it. So, I Zerostat it after cleaning and it makes a good bit of difference. Many times pops we hear are not dirt, but static, removing it makes them play back much quieter. There are other, more expensive static removing devices, but the Zerostat works well for the money.

    That is exactly what I found Russell especially as I have a vacuum record cleaning machine. I knew the records were free from dust and dirt but still got clicks and static pops. The Zerostat has now eliminated that. Superb result.

    I find that if I pull the trigger very slowly, while pulling the gun away, I get more work done with it than just shooting away at the record. Even the needle riding in the groove can create static. Perhaps there is some ingredient they could include in the vinyl formula that would eliminate static all together? That would be a boon for new record sales!

    I have found that the Zerostat can also be used on your cartridge as well as records. I was still getting a bit of static on some records even though i had zapped them but since zapping the cartridge any remaining static has now gone. I would say the effect on the cartridge maybe more significant than on LPs.

    Just don't zap your cartridge when your system is turned on as

    I would be very wary of using it this way. The voltages generated by these devices is very high. Somebody better informed than I am can perhaps advise you!

    yup, i wouldnt do it personally. theres about 10k emitted from the milty and thats 3 times a standard discharge from say you and the door for instance. If the cart was disconnected from the tt it may be safe.

    Was mostly thinking of those tiny wires in cart getting fried Jim. Might be fine tho but personally with a dear cart I'd be hesitant.

    Intuitively it seems a bad idea to push 10k volts into a device that operates at mVolts!

    Al I can say is since I zapped it I have ZERO static anomy system sounds better than I can remember? Nothing fried. I only zapped it as a journalist suggested this was OK?
