Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre!

82% humidity in Carlsbad this AM
you could always move !!!!!
static ground pads work somewhat....

I always touch my metal equipment rack. It does the job of grounding. I also use a PS Audio line conditioner. It keeps things like stray voltages at bay. Joe

There is more to fear than "not being grounded."I recently read a thread to where an individual paid for a Mytek and has not received it even after 2 months have elapsed. No response via email or letter. That was enough to make me turn around and never look back.. There is no excuse for that to happen outside of pure neglect.. And to be truthful i was still somewhat ambivalent about buying either the Mytelk or Callia, (well maybe the Hugo 2 as well). That info made it an easy choice, the next day i brought the Callia and i am now tracking its progress to my home, I do not regret it "AT ALL." 
   

The idea with using fabric softener mixed with water is interesting.  I was IT in a small office at one time and we had a serious problem with static from the office carpet/rug.  We used Heavy Duty Staticide to treat the carpet and it seemed to help reduce static a lot.  It is more expensive (about $44 for gallon, $12 for quart), but it is definitely effective.
