Anti static foam?

I'm thinking about trying this tweak and am curious how you install it (Elizabeth?). Do you just pack it in your equipment or do you have to put something between the foam and the boards? I don't want to start a fire or short out a circuit. At the low cost of this anti static foam, and with the crazy amounts of static I have here in the cold dry air here in Colorado, I'm thinking that this would be a worthwile thing to do but I just need some instruction on what and what not to do when installing the foam in my components and which components I can do and which ones I shouldn't do. Thanks!

Come on Geoff, this is right up your alley! Don't like the competition, eh?

You can now proceed to educate us on the actual sonic effects of static and subsequently,on it's removal. But especially the tweak to do so. There's gotta be something scary going on in the air.

I would definitely not put this stuff in your amp. Not even against chassis walls. What ever you put it in, it will insulate. I mean it will keep and accumulate heat. That would absolutely change the sound of your amp. Probably your pre-amp also. I wonder if anyone's done any listening tests using identical components with and without it.

Okay, but to be honest, Elizabeth did allude to it. Whether inadvertently or not. Geoff is way too smart for our own good!
