24 hrs (In Stock) Most analogue buffs are familiar with the Zerostat. If you are not then you are missing out on the easiest and most cost effective way of removing static from your LPs and CDs. This unwanted static electricity can rob your playback system of resolution and detail, in the case of vinyl play back static will create nasty clicks and pops. The Zerostat in essence is a gun that when fired approximately 20-30cms from the surface of your LPs or CDs destroys all static build up.

This red plastic "gun" was, for many years, the only sure fire cure for the static "cling" of LPs to their platters, and of dust to LPs. Operation is simple: point the gun at the object you want de-staticised and SLOWLY pull the trigger. If you hear any "clicks" you've pulled it too fast. Whatever you do, DON'T press the "muzzle" against any part of your body and squeeze the trigger. It really hurts!

The Zerostat works on the principle of negatively and positively charged particles. When you "zap" an object with the Zerostat, you're actually bombarding its surface with particles that are the opposite charge of the ones creating the static "stickiness", thereby disrupting their hold on the object and breaking the static field. It's perfectly safe; the effects are usually temporary (some folks swear that "zapping" CDs with the Zerostat before play actually improves their sound!).

The Zerostat is particularly effective against LPs that, having been played, are reluctant to come up off of the platter without a struggle (and wind up making that crackly sound that means the LP is attracting every piece of dust within a five-mile radius). The solution? At the end of playing a side, simply "zap" the LP with the Zerostat and, voila!, off it comes with no hassle.

The Zerostats charging element should last many years, and its construction is rugged enough to survive any abuse. Give it a shot!

Get to the source of the dust.....get a Pure HEPA air purifier and a IONIZER
Air purifier. This will eliminate the dust you bring in on a daily basis even while you sleep, and also cuts down on the dust you will be breathing. In a week you will notice a big difference. Ask me how I know.....You can get all these from Walmart, Target, Kmart, Ebay... Oreck is the Best but Costly..
I got mine for $129 at Walmart. (Ionizer ) The HEPA came from home Depot $122. Well worth it. I use to cough constantly and recently just got over pnuemonia by digging in some old assed records...I haven't coughed but a couple of time since installing these units Saturday. Real Sh!t man..
