Static Shock?


Hi, when the weather is colder and dry(winter) I have always experienced a nice arcing shock when I first touch my system anywhere after walking up to it(only the first touch). Has anyone a cure for this? I dread it when I must adjust something or change a disc or do anything really that has to do with touching any component. Thanks.

Short of changing to non-static carpet (like they use in Vegas hotels) or wearing shoes with conductive soles (like they use in operating rooms) you'll have to touch something else that's grounded just before you touch that tonearm!

A painless way to do this is to make a fist and touch ground with the knuckle of your forefinger :~))
