Are some cartridges more prone to static than others? I bought a Rega exact Cartridge from a member on this site, fitted it and it sounds great. Now I seem to be hearing more static clicks and pops compared to my old at-vm95ml, now I could also just be imagining there's more static. This is on both old and new records. It's something I've always had a bit of a problem with, not sure if it's the carpet I have or something else. It's a p3 turntable I'm using and I always swap the inner sleeve for a spin guard anti static sleeve and use a carbon brush before playing. The static seems to lessen the the further into a side it goes. I'm thinking of buying one of the zerostat guns, would this be worthwhile?
When there's no static it sounds amazing, the clicks and pops just out me off though.
