Have you tried taking your shoes off and just wearing socks.It is amazing how much static charge can be built up into the soles of your shoes and transfered to equipment when touched.I would suggest some nice Mukluks with a soft leather sole to neutralize a charge that can be built up by walking on carpets with certain type of shoes.Or you may in fact have some mild form of telekinesis,in that case,levitate yourself off the floor and then touch the equipment to avoid transfering a static charge.
Static electricity Killin me.
Everytime I get up and touch any part of my rig I shhot a two inch lightning bolt onto my equipment. It's gotten so bad that I'm picking the equipment I figure it has the least impact on to shock, before I touch the piece that I'm actually after. You guys experience the same thing? And if so, what's the best way to get rid of the buildup? Speaker binding post? Cd player chasis? If I touch the wadia 170i first, it actually stunts it for a second.

See this thread, in which the solution turned out to be rubbing one's hands on a dryer sheet. Best regards, -- Al |
B_limo, I'm assuming you have carpet or a rug between your listening position and your equipment. If so, you can control static by mixing fabric softener with water in a spray bottle and spray the part you walk on. One article I saw suggested 1 tablespoon per half gallon of water but I'm sure there are other ratios as well. Dick |
