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.

One blessing of living in Florida I guess, no such thing as a dry winter....or any winter really come to think of it......
Sorry to hear of your bad luck though.

@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!

Static can and does impart damage. Mosfet transistors and ICs are particularly susceptible. Some people destroy electronics with static unknowingly. It doesn't always happen with an obvious shock.
