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.
I lived in Colorado for 9 years, recently having moved back to Michigan. We had carpet in our basement and the static build up would make one hesitant to touch a light switch, let alone turn my gear on. I used ACL Staticide spray. Stuff worked like a champ.
proper equipment grounding also helps. ground->hot->neutral = voltage; neutral->ground = zero. micropore soles are static resistant, but finding such foot wear is challenge. sneaker soles will get ya couple of farads per each foot I guess and you can probably give it back to electric company LOL via powerful 10M resistor HAHA!
