LP GEAR X3 RECORD CLEANING & ANTI-STATIC BRUSH

LP Gear introduces the best record cleaning and anti-static brush! The LP Gear X3 is better than plain vanilla single row brush. It has two rows of high grade special carbon fiber bristles to whisk away dust, dirt and static. The center velvet pad sweeps off the debris extracted by the carbon fiber bristles.

To use, set the LP Gear X3 straight across the record, hold it by the sides to keep it in place. Use the brush's own weight, there is no need to apply pressure. Let the record spin under it for 2-3 rotations and as it turns slowly draw it to the outside and and slide off the record. It's that easy and simple. Rest the brush on the protective cradle when not in use. The X3 can be used by itself or with a record cleaning solution of your preference.

To clean, use a new soft toothbrush to lightly brush the velvet pad and bristles. Some like to their hands to wipe the pad and bristles but we prefer the toothbrush.

ZEROSTAT3 ANTI-STATIC PISTOL BY MILTY
- Proven efficacy in the laboratory, studio and home. See demo and instructional video here.

Effective at neutralizing static charges on virtually any surface without the need for sprays, the Zerostat 3 by Milty helps keep LP phonograph records, vinyl, CDs, DVDs, film, negatives, lenses, glass, and plasticware static-free, dust-free and lint-free. It is the latest development and incarnation of the renowned Zerostat piezo-electric pistol that has been proven worldwide in neutralizing static electricity found in the laboratory, office, and home. Each Zerostat 3 comes with complete instructions including a test procedure to confirm that the unit is working properly.

FAQ

How do I use it?
Hold the Zerostat 3 within 12" (30.5 cm) of the surface or object to be treated. Squeeze the trigger slowly for about two seconds, to emit a stream of positive ionized air over the surface of the object. As the trigger is slowly released, a negative flow of air ions is produced resulting in static neutralization. Repeat this procedure at several points across the surface of the object.

How much charge is given off?
Each squeeze of the trigger results in a discharge, when stated in units of charge, is 1.5 Coulumbs.

How long will it last?
One can reasonably expect on the order of 10,000 such "squeeze cycles" during the lifetime of a Zerostat 3 unit, although the typical Zerostat 3 will last much longer, sometimes as long as up to 50,000 trigger squeezes. The Zerostat 3 needs no batteries or electrical supply nor does it contain any radioactive components.

Where can it be used?
The Zerostat gun, in theory, will work in any atmosphere but great caution must be exercised before using it with or in flammable or combustible gases.

Are there replacement parts?
The Zerostat 3 is designed to be a disposable product. It is not built to be taken apart and there are not replacement parts.

Is it safe?
The Zerostat is "safe" but we would still advise keeping it out of the reach of children who could easily see it as a toy. One should never press the "muzzle" against their skin and squeeze the trigger, it could cause quite a sting. We also advise never to carry this product as carry-on luggage on a plane flight. It could be mistaken for a lethal object! You could be held up to the point of missing your flight while explaining to security personnnel just what is a Zerostat. This cautionary note is directed to many service engineers who carry a Zerostat 3 as part of their tool kit.

How much does it weigh?
The net weight of the Zerostat gun is 135 g (0.30 lbs). The typical packaging used for the shipment of a single Zerostat results in a shipping weight of 200 g (0.44 lbs). The unit is highly portable and easy to control and handle.

What is the size of it?
4.5" x 6.5"

What colors does it come in?
The Zerostat 3 originally came in red. The new Zerostat 3 comes in blue.

AUDIO-TECHNICA AT618 RECORD WEIGHT CLAMP DISC STABILIZER

The Audio Technica AT618 Non-resonant Record Weight Clamp Disc Stabilizer is a very useful accessory for music listeners, audio enthusiasts, and DJ's who require higher fidelity sound quality and extractive performance from their records. The AT618 stabilizer's specially inert material dampens resonance as it sits on top of the record over the turntable spindle and applies 600 grams of weight, holding the record firmly in place while stabilizing the record and improving overall sound quality. This is especially useful when playing records where bass vibration or resonance is an issue, when playing a slightly warped record or when recording your vinyl into your computer and you need a cleaner sound.

Proven in use for over four decades in audiophile turntable systems, the Audio-Technica AT618 stabilizer has in recent years been rediscovered by respected vinyl loving DJs like James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Prins Thomas and Jacques Renault. The Audio-Technica AT618 stabilizer covers your labels if you're concerned with people who can successfully identify obscure music a DJ plays (trainspotters). It works wonders on those records that are slightly warped.

The Audio Technica AT618 is recommended for use with high torque turntables with firm platter suspension. It will not work well with turntables that have soft suspension and weak drive systems.

Audio-Technica AT618 Non-Resonant Disc Stabilizer Specifications
- Top cylinder: 66.3 mm (2.6 inches) diameter
- Height from top to bottom: 30.6 mm (1.2 inches)
- Bottom cylinder: 80 mm (3.2 inches) diameter
- Weight: 600 g (1.3 lbs.)
- Made in Japan

TONAR NOSTATIC RECORD BRUSH

The Tonar Nostatic Brush has two rows of over a million micro fiber bristles to brush away dust, dirt, and static. The holder has a wedge for cleaning both rows of bristles after use. It also comes with a protective case to keep the brush dust and lint free when not in use. Quite an ingeniously crafted and effective record cleaner.

LP GEAR Z MAT

The LP Gear Z Mat uses 2.1 mm of special felt intertwined with zillions of air particles for superior isolation. This effectively eliminates noise and resonance produced by the turntable drive system (motor, pulley, sub platter and belt) as it interacts with the suspension, plinth, tonearm, cartridge and finally the record itself. You'll hear more of the music and less of the noise. Better than most mats used as original equipment in well known turntables, the LP Gear Z Mat is a drop-in replacement for platter mats made of rubber, felt, cork, foam or other synthetic materials. The LP Gear Z Mat is shown above with its protective anti-static sleeve.
