Marco's cleaning process with new vinyl, using an RCM

[Audioman]

Thanks for the cleaning post Marco. I have the VPI RCM 16.5 and have been using it identically to yourself except the last point - Use of Zerostat at the end. I do find my records have quite a lot of static build up especially at the beginning for some reason however a few weeks in an Antistatic Nagoka sleeve usually sorts it, however I think i will try using a Zerostat gun aswell. Any suggestions where best to get one from?

Having had a Zerostat for years I have concluded they are of limited effectiveness especially at the current price (though inflation has caught this up a little). A good RCM clean removes heavy static from records followed by placement in an antistatic sleeve.
