Static is certainly the age old nemesis of the vinylphool that is really tough to beat. It's like killing germs, like.....it can't be done. However, it can be managed to a point. I have found that MOFI polysleeves seem to help a little. I also use the Milty Zerostat with some success, Although, I think sometimes it makes it worse. I think dragging a stylus across vinyl creates static so there you go. I use a lightly misted Discwasher brush to pick up lint before each play and that seems to help. I swipe the stylus with a small brush before each play. Ever look at your dust cover in the sunlight? it's should be called a dust collector insted. Maybe I'll try groove glide but I just don't like the idea of putting stuff on the grooves.
