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.

Look online for a grounding pad. I found a 4” by 6” inch grounding pad which connects to the screw on the outlet cover.  I touch the pad first (you should see the sparks fly!) which is on top of my rack, then the preamp. Works like a charm.
