Building Static Charge
Anybody else encountering tremendous static electric charges building between the record and platter? I'm finding it happening, more frequently with new records, on occasion. I have to pry up the record, the attraction is so great, and the sparks that jump are not doing my system any good. Why is the platter not grounded? Maybe there is there an issue of aluminum always having a non-conductive oxide surface? Do I have find a carbon fiber mat and rig a grounding brush on it's edge?

My VPI Weisline phono cable has a grounding conductor going to my Tavish Adagio phono stage. I don't believe that the platter is connected to this ground. Perhaps Mat can comment.
