RW, Thanks for your idea, which I shall be trying in a system where the spark is actually uncomfortable to the fingers. Having the anti-static sheet on top of the receiver will remind me to do the laundry, no, no, will remind me to touch before turning on, or adjusting the volume.
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...
