FurutechDestat III Removes Static-Charge & Dust in One 15-second treatment!

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.

Anyone who has ever read reviews about HIFI and the wonder cures for all manner of items that will make your precious vinyl sing like a linnet, but it sounds more like a lighthouse foghorn when you get it home, we have all been sold a pup and felt stupid and angry for falling for the fine words and hard sell lies that get told time and again, well when you read about how good the Furutech DeStat III is at eliminating the static electricity from your record collection, keep listening, and when the nagging voice (not the wife this time) tells you "it's expensive and I don't want to make a mistake that costs so much", you can be sure that this time it will have a happy ending.Yes of course I was sceptical, I was £300 sceptical and that isn't a little bit sceptical in my mind, yes I have a Zerostat 3 that needs no batteries, but I would use it before playing an album, it is a bit of a palaver, trying to pull the trigger slowly enough yet wondering if it is actually doing anything, holding the record while holding the gun while trying to not pull the trigger too quickly, it was hit and miss and so were the results, well not really, there were always some pops and clicks and they always seemed to be in the quiet parts.I eventually pulled the trigger for the last time and ordered the Furutech III, I also bought a little gadget that measures static electricity, getting toward Winter 2021 the Furutech III arrived, so simple to use, stupidly simple in fact, in my haste I forgot to use the static measuring meter, so I went to try with a different record, sure enough there was static, why wouldn't there be? So 15 seconds with the Furutech III and another measuring, the only two flickers of static were a 0.1 & 0.3, out of interest I measured the other side of the record, it flickered once briefly to 0.1 that was it, nothing to speak of, I have waited until now because I wanted to give the static electricity a fighting chance.I have a very occasional pop on a record, but that could be a speck of dust that the brush missed, is £300 a lot of money? Yes of course it is, is not having static pops and clicks while listening to your favourite/all your vinyl collection worth £300, for me there is only one answer and that is a resounding yes.A quick note, there is a fan that blows like an asthmatic mouse on to the record, I have seen a comment that it's to get rid of dust from the record, I honestly don't believe it is for this, but I really don't know what it is there for, it is so weak it won't remove dust, it may be to spread the magic that gets rid of the evil static, I really don't know it's reason for being there, it doesn't interfere with the working of the unit though.

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.

I've been using Zerostat 3 gun for many years with very good performance and this deviice improves it even. A+++++

I was not very sure if I will notice a difference between the Destat III and the Zerostat. But I can say that yes, the Destat is better. Simple to use and remove the static fully. it's more money than the Zerostat but worth it how simple the process and effective can be.
