Milty - Zerostat Anti-Static Anti-Static Charge Remover for Records and Surfaces

This product is a godsend and although I feel it was pricey and I didn't enjoy buying it. It does work amazingly well. I had a brand new record which played beautifully, 2nd time I played it was unlistenable due to the pops and cracks. A few rounds of shooting this at it and they all went like magic. Using is a bit funny with the worst instructions in the world but essentially point it at what you want to antistat and pull the trigger if it clicks you squeezed the trigger too quickly/hard. you need to squeeze it slow you get a feel for it. There is a plastic nozzle in the box this is used to test that the gun works. Dim the lights and when you squeeze you should see a faint orange glow through the slit in the side of the nozzle You can use the gun on the felt mat of the turntable , on the record prior to playing on or off the turntable , make no difference and even while its playing if the static is building up. Yes you can give yourself a shock with it by pointing it at yourself and pulling trigger. For me Carbon Brushes do not remove static they just don't add static while you sweep dust out the grooves. so you kinda need both.

This was to replace my original zerostat that had seen some extensive use and had just fell apart, the new one does come with instructions on the back but youtube gives a better idea on how to use it, general rule is if it clicks you are doing it wrong, it definitely kills static as shown by hairs on the record being able to be blown off after use. Once you get used to it, it is brilliant, it is a bit pricey but works and I swear by it. Also keep it away from children caught my grandkids playing gunfights with it and trying to electrocute each other.

Having rejoined the vinyl world with a new turntable last year static clicks were incredibly annoying both from 40-50 year old albums reclaimed from the loft and brand new pressings. In fact some of the new pressings were the worst. I tried a carbon fibre cleaning brush, velvet cleaning brush, both of which made only marginal improvements. antistatic inner sleeves for my albums then followed which stopped it getting worse but didn't reduce the static. I then went on to a well known antistatic washing system which made a noticeable improvement and I then replaced the felt slip mat that came with the turntable with an acrylic platter. Again there was a noticeable improvement but some static clicks were still there. After some deliberation I then splashed out £60 on the Milty Zerostat. Initially I couldn't tell from the test nozzle whether it was working or not as I couldn't see the light glowing. Once I realised there is only one small opening through the adaptor to see the light, meaning you have to rotate the nozzle to see it, I could confirm it was working. There was a definite improvement in sound as soon as I started using it. The instructions are fairly vague but I've found 3-4 slow squeezes of the trigger holding the album in one hand and the Zerostat gun in the other, around 30cm apart works best. I use the Zerostat before every play and I've found that the effect is cumulative with static continually reducing over time. I also give the acrylic platter a zap quite regularly. It's not cheap at around £60 for a piece of plastic resembling a kid's toy space gun but it does make a difference although there are still one or two clicks and pops. I've also used it on the turntable base and perspex lid and found it's very good at preventing dust build up there. Overall I'm happy with it. It's pricey but worth it for the improvement in listening quality.

Had one of these in the 70’s ,before CD revolution and used to good effect. Returning to vinyl again a good few of my LP’s had bad crackling in places despite being well cleaned. I was amazed in every case it removed what must have been static. Dont be put off this really works my wife likes my video trick. Rubbing cellophane against my clothing to attract static it sticks to your hand (like dust being attracted to your vinyl).With a slow pull of the trigger , neutralising the static the cellophane drops off. After cleaning your record on the platter, zap the record before play and any static crackling will disappear.

I was very sceptical about the claims what this could do but decided to give it a try. I am now converted, this is an excellent product and does exactly what it claims. Remove static from vinyl and consequently most of the snap, crackle and pops associated vinyl. Obviously will not remove scratches etc but vinyl sounds a lot better now.

This obliterates static on vinyl records but you do need to do some research into how to use it properly.

Have to give 4 not 5 because it's horribly expensive for what's in it. But. It works and my records sound gorgeous so for me it was worth the cost. There's a few comments along the lines of 'this should be a tenner' but it's patented so if you don't want a milty, what do you get instead ? Just to reiterate for those saying 'it didn't work' : hold 12" away from the 12 o'clock position of your record and squeeze *slowly* ... if it clicks you messed up, so practice a bit first. Slowly release keeping the gun in the same position. (The unit gives out +ve ions on the squeeze, followed by -ve ions on the release). repeat at the 4 o'clock position and 8 o'clock. finally, aim at the centre, squeeze as before, but then point the gun away from the record before releasing. Not sure why on the last one but that's what milty says !

Blimey... well who knew? This little gizmo is brilliant. I'm now listening to a 60 year old copy of Sound of Silence and it sounds amazingly clear and crackle free. Genuinely can't recall ever being so impressed with a gadget as this before. Note... one last depression of the trigger point the gun away from the record.

High static setup, following this, static pops were gone. The thing absolutely works

Funkar bra

Maakt hardnekkig statische vinyl platen (lp's) antistatisch en echt vrijwel altijd tikvrij

Als Schallplattensammler hat mich die statische Aufladung meiner Platten schon lange genervt. Mit der Milty Zerostat 3 ist das Problem komplett gelöst. Nach einer kurzen Anwendung ist das lästige Knistern Geschichte und der Staub lässt sich federleicht von der Oberfläche abbürsten. Es funktioniert einfach super! Ein ganz wichtiger Hinweis für andere Käufer: Die mitgelieferte schwarze Aufsatzkappe ist nur zum Testen der Funktion der Pistole da (um zu sehen, ob das System Ionen erzeugt). Für die eigentliche Nutzung auf der Schallplatte muss die Kappe unbedingt abgenommen werden! Wer den Klang seiner Vinyl-Sammlung verbessern und die Platten schonen möchte, macht hier absolut nichts falsch. Der Preis ist für die Leistung völlig gerechtfertigt. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

¡Muy bueno! Mantened alejada de los niños, pues produce descargas eléctricas. Anula la estática de los vinilos. ¡Fenomenal!
