Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre!


So I ran into a weird issue with my Brooklyn DAC. 

I'm in heavily air conditioned environment with a carpet. If I accidentally spark the volume knob, the remote control setting goes nuts. If I attempt to change the volume via the remote the Mytek will automatically go to maximum possible volume! Good thing my tweets can take power. :) 

The only way to fix it after this is to unplug the power, wait 30 seconds, and reset the remote settings. 

Really not an ideal situation.

An anti-static mat might work placed on the floor in front of your equipment. The mat itself is grounded at the wall and in theory dissipates any charge. I don't have personal experience with them but found them when I did some research for a computer room setup.
