Furutech Destat III Removes Static-Charge & Dust in One 15-Second Treatment!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Listening to Lps just got static free. Completely. It works and now things are better.

Okay, I still get the occasional pop, but they're not from static, butt surface imperfections. People who stop by to listen to some music with me are amazed at the lack of noise from the records, and this thing plays a big part. Highly recommended.

I received the Furutech III before the estimate arrival. The 4 stars are for being such high price and NO INSTRUCTIONS.. A lot of pretty carboard and guarantees. NO guidance to inset the A-A cells. NO markings on the battery compartment either. NO instructions included how to use the device on vinyl records. Furutech has a few useless videos online and comments turned off. I'll have to say for the ALMOST $400 price tag from Amazon that this unit consistently reduces or eliminates static on your record albums. I'm not going to create a lot of verbiage how to use it or insert the batteries. It's not rocket science. Just sayin'

If you’re someone who cleans your records and stores them properly, this is the missing step for nearly dead silent, beautiful, revealing playback! I was thoroughly impressed with how effective it is. It is pricey, but if you are serious about quality listening and love the warmth of what vinyl delivers verses digital, it’s well worth the money.

The Destat III, while pricey, is performing very well for me. Living in humid Alabama static is not always a problem except in winter. My turntable is a Rega P10 and is supplied with a felt platter mat. Before using the Destat III the pad would cling to the record when turning it over removing it. Not a real problem but it would often happen. The proof that the Destat III is working is that the felt pad never clings to the record after using it prior to playing a record.

I have used many anti-static liquids and static-removing devices are available on the market in the past dozens of years — some inexpensive, others costly. Most of them works as they should. But I can easily recommend this particular product because of its easy-to-use operation with one button push, adquate size for vinyl LP records. Ultrasonic cleaning before the static-removing will make your analogue life much comfortable and rewarding.

I used it every which way, and no noticable change in static reduction on LP as advertised here and on company web-site...Dont be suckered. They dont accept returns.

The device removes static charge (which can be done cheaper and faster with a Zerostat) but does not begin to blow hard enough to remove dust. This is easily demonstrated by using a brush after the Destat. You don't have to play the record and listen to tell that the dust is still there; you can see the dust is there when you sweep it into a pile with a brush. In summary, it is fraudulently advertised, does half of what it's advertised to do, and costs a premium. Final note: the manual does not even mention dust removal as a capability. Disgraceful.
