Be Careful!

With static electricity in this cold dry winter.  I fried the right channel of my Classe Amp last night with the touch of a finger.  I usually have anti-static sheets in hand before touching anything but this time did not.

Good excuse to recap an old amp.

Definitely worth noting. Static can kill gear. I ran a length of lamp cord to the ground connection on a power regulator. I try to remember to touch the end of it before touching any equipment. The spark only hurts a little.

How did that happen? RCA Jack or the body did you touched?

I bought a 3 inch square anti-static mat that connects to the ground on the wall outlet.  It is amazing how much static you can build up just getting off the couch.  Best 15.00I ever spent.
