Help me solve static electricity problem

Lately I keep sending my Classe Amp and/or conrad-johnson preamp into protection mode simply by touching anything in my system. A loud pop goes through my speakers and it's very, very disconcerting. I'm smart enough to try to touch something metal before touching my rack, but this does not always work. Apparently I'm not smart enough to solve this condundrum, though. Any ideas????

A sure thing is to keep a dryer sheet nearby and rub it with your hand before touching the equipment. I prefer the non-scented sheets.

Get some dryer sheets and lightly dust your components. This works.

It's always nice to get the feedback on these threads. Most of the time you're just left wondering.

If you have forced hot air and or central A/C add a humidifier to the system. Should be no more than $500.00 for a quality unit installed.

Humidifier for $500 or box of dryer sheets for under $5. Hmmm.
