Vinyl Asylum: Oh, yeah by padreken

I've watched pretty much every online video there is on the Planar series. One in particular (I believe it was Cheshire Audio) states flatly that if you're getting the static cling, you're cleaning your records too much. If that's the case, guilty as charged-I always brush each LP side before play. That, combined with our dry SoCal climate, is no doubt the problem. I know Roy Gandy doesn't believe records should be cleaned at all-having heard for myself the striking benefits of ultrasonic cleaning, I dismiss this out of hand. My buddy uses a Zerostat with his P10, I've got one on order. I may also try a different mat, as oldddude suggested. At any rate, this TT sounds so freakin' great I'm willing to overlook the static issue. I've never heard a belt drive table with the quick, dynamic stop/starts this thing produces. along with incredible transparency. I put on my UK pressing of the Lan Parsons Project-Pyramid the other day and Voyager nearly gave me whiplash. That old cliche about rediscovering every record collection is true in this case. I get the sense that every record sounds exactly as it's supposed to sound.
