FYI, electronic candle lighters worked as well as a zero stat. And you can get two of them for 20 bucks. I've been using them for over a year and they absolutely wipe out static.
@@austinhunt4260 yep. That's how I saw it too. I figured that if it didn't work at least I had a cool lighter. I give every record a couple of circular swipes with one now before I play it. I can't tell you how much I've grabbed a record and felt the hair standing up on my arm and after shooting it with that the static was just playing gone.
Please note that you must remove the neon bulb from the output of your milty zero-stat to actually expose your record to a charge to remove static. The neon bulb helps you see if the zerostat gun is working (the bulb blinks due to high voltage discharge through the neon if the gun can generate high voltage... if it can't... no blink).
Hey, thanks for your question. You can use a little bit of the G2 cleaning fluid and a clean microfibre cloth regularly, but every so often it’s good to detach the Velcro pad and use distilled water and a little bit of dish soap to deep clean. the pad make sure you thoroughly rinse it with distilled water afterwards and allow it to air dry. I hope this helps any further questions do let me know.
Very informative. Been cleaning my records wrong for 25 years.

Interesting!
I don't get it. Why would electric candle lighters replace a zerostat?
@@austinhunt4260 because they wipe out static, and they're a lot cheaper, and they are a lot easier to use.
@@ReasonablySane sounds pretty insane, but since you're not, i think I'll get one.

Correct
I like the spindle screw you have on your record cleaning machine. I have an Okki Nokki. Is the one that covers the label universal ?
how does one clean the 'groovewasher' microfiber pad? how often would you recommended doing so?

A few good microfiber cloths
A magic eraser
A tooth pick
A 50c spray bottle
The mildest dish soap and rinse aid
A magic eraser?!? Are you trying to sand off your grooves?

Cut a 1cm piece of it and stick it on the end of a toothpick, clean your stylus with it.
You shouldn't have repeated fingerprints if you handle an lp by the edges and label.
accidents happen
is the discount code still applicable? i am uk based but the link takes you to a US site. do they have uk site? i have not found it
Still applicable, but you’ll likely have duty to pay. Juno records stock some GrooveWasher in the U.K. though - hope this helps!
What carbon fiber brush do you use?
The Audio Quest gold contacts one. Link in description 👌🎶
