Help me solve static electricity problem

Puremusic,

Thanks for the guidance.I'll check out the ground disruptor. What kind of wire did you use and how did you attach the wire to the chassis?

Hevac1,

Thanks for the link!

Vhiner, I used equal lengths of 14 gauge solid core copper wire from Lowes. Attach one end with a screw on the chassis and the other to one of the ground posts on the Ground Disruptor.

Puremusic,

Thanks for the help. I'll have to save up for the disruptor.

I gave up and took up my rugs.

I got a nice Parasound A23 amp and P3 preamp pair from this site. As soon as last winter arrived, one modest static touch blew out the pre, to the tune of a $300 repair. I tried to be careful afterwards to discharge before I touched it. But, alas, first cold day this winter I transmitted a static charge so small I could barely feel it, and poof! flashing lights, preamp dead again. I've had it now, and rather than repair, I would like to replace the preamp with a different brand/type that isn't so susceptible to static electricity damage. All advice welcome.
