Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre!

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.

I’ve found simply taking off my shoes cured the static electricity problem.
For some reason, being in stocking feet grounds you.

You have a faulty unit, probably from the early production run. This fault could have activated after some time. I had the same problem and Mytek exchanged
mine for a new one.

I had a similar issue with the a brand new Brooklyn+ bought from an NYC dealer (I'll leave that anonymous for the time being).  The thing would play fine for a short time, and sooner or later loud static and pops would come through.  At times, ear piercing volume spikes would occur.  

The unit was basically inoperable, and I took it back to the store and they found no issues with it.  I tried the device with multiple amps, in multiple rooms, on multiple speakers. 

Fast forward several months, still no refund.  At the time of purchase in March, I also got a Mytek Clef...though that has never arrived. 

For pricey enough equipment, this is unacceptable.  The patriarch at Mytek has plenty to improve on.
