A shocking reminder


We are deep in the throes of winter 'round here (Bethesda, MD) and you know what that means - very dry air and tons of static electricity generated by walking across your carpeted floors. Reach out to the volume control on the preamp and ZAP! another blue spark causes a major THUMP thru your speakers.

My solution? Lay an anti-static dryer sheet (Bounce, etc.) on top of the preamp and touch it before anything else - PROBLEM SOLVED.

Try it, it really works...

I agree with Mbhcid, I had a very bad static problem in winter and solved it with a humidifier. Although an anti-static dryer sheet might work (thanks for the idea) the humidifier fixes the problem instead of a Band-Aid.
