Thanks for all the tips. I have tried touching a few things, like my anti static album brush, but it still happens. I will look into losing my shoes or touching something else and see if that works.
Short in my system?
I keep getting shocked when walk across the room to touch the system, which then pops really loud through the speakers.
I have a McIntosh 352 tube amp plugged into a Niagara 1200 power conditioner, which is really like a giant surge protector.
I live in cental NC, and wSo I don't know if theres an electical problem with the house or with the system, or if this just happens sometimes. It also happens sometimes when I touch the floor lamp, just a static spark. Its just so much worse when I touch the amp because its amplified so loud and I'm afraid its going to short out the whole system, or at least blow some tubes.hile its been a cold dry winter, I live on a lake and it rained a couple of days ago so I don't think its the dry weather.
