All my new vinyl goes thru wet vacuum cleaning using a Clearaudio Smart Matrix cleaner. After cleaning, somehow the static is permanently removed.

Many people buy the 1 step by MOfi (analog vailt) Charles Mingus. Thanks @macrotrust Bought 3 LPs from HEAR months ago. Reply was, "Boss don't give discount".

Here in Tasmania it's cold and dry so static builds up very easily. I always use it before playing any LP. great, i read that it kinda really works, though overpriced. might have a go with them. 16 hours ago, annapurna1624705732 said: All my new vinyl goes thru wet vacuum cleaning using a Clearaudio Smart Matrix cleaner.

I think I bought mine at around US$70 from Elusive Disc website, definitely well worth the price. Other anti-static solutions probably cost a lot more and may not be as effective or as convenient. The good thing about Zerostat is that it's very easy to use. Just 10 sec to "shoot" your LP and you're done. I can guarantee it is effective because over here, the static is so bad that my phono cart can pick it up when I put the LP near the cart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you have done zapping with the Zerostat, is the static removal permanent? Previously I was using Nagaoka anti static gun, the static removal is only temporary. Whenever i put the record back to its original sleeve and take it out again, the static is back. However, after I cleaned using my record cleaner with the supplied cleaning solution, the static removal is permanent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to try it out. But I doubt anything can permanently remove static here, the amount of static buildup is a LOT! Some LPs will even build up static after I finish listening to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RCM is also vacuum type (Keith Monks), so the effect should be similar I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot get in Aussie, you can order online: https://www.analogueseduction.net/record-cleaning-fluid-rinse/CA-AC048-100[1].html In Singapore, where I bought the solution, it is already premixed.

I know what I am doing the rest of my evening The Chasing the Dragon LP is actually quite good., IMHO. So is the Vivaldi 4 Seasons, which is direct cut. YMMV. They also sell CDs, and I use the same Chasing the Dragon CD as reference. You can buy direct from them at http://www.chasingthedragon.co.uk/.

A deeper, even darker secret: 12" singles that are pressed on another country/continent than the one the artist/label is based most often suck a lot....
