Be Careful!

John,

There is good repair shop near me I have used in the past.  They are certified for Mcintosh, professional equipment and other hifi brands.  I know you used to own a Classe CA series - there are about 30 capacitors in there!

I had 2 different whole house humidifiers in the past that worked wonders for the air but could never get them to stop leaking.

@wolf_garcia will fish work?

I touched the faceplate on my preamp which shocked the Schitt digital out of me, sent a bang out of the right speaker and put the amp in protective shutdown.

Something we as audiophiles deal with every winter.  This is a first for me.  I usually defuse myself on my record clamp and rub anti static sheets on my hands.  I did neither.  Sobered me up for sure!

Elizabeth, you are lucky.  I have always had a problem in my stereo room.  Some carpet and some hardwood floor.

I guess I do need a portable humifier.

@uberwaltz thanks!  Fortunately I have back up amps so I am back in business!

@tomcy6 I normally do just that but for some reason I got lazy. And paid!
