Dissapating static electricity


I have a cd player that is very sensitive to static electricity and it is becoming a problem. How can I eliminate this problem? Is the static electricity originating in the cd player, rack, or cd's? Or all three?

If you have a threaded rod rack, you can simply ground one of the rods and then touch it before any of your gear. If not, a simple piece of metal like a door handle or knob, etc.. could be attached to the side of the rack and grounded. It's visibility factor would remind you to touch it before anything else in the rack. Since static electricity can be extremely high in voltage, it is QUITE possible to do damage to your digital gear due to it's sensitivity in this area. As suggested, a small humidifier will make a world of difference in both your static situation and sinus conditions. Keep in mind that your sinus' and ears are all linked together, so i would not doubt that this would / could affect your hearing too. Sean >
