Static electricity Killin me.


Everytime I get up and touch any part of my rig I shhot a two inch lightning bolt onto my equipment. It's gotten so bad that I'm picking the equipment I figure it has the least impact on to shock, before I touch the piece that I'm actually after. You guys experience the same thing? And if so, what's the best way to get rid of the buildup? Speaker binding post? Cd player chasis? If I touch the wadia 170i first, it actually stunts it for a second.

I tired my bedroom humidifier in the living room and it did the trick. Out here in the San Fernando Valley it's gotten really cold (for us) and extremely dry so I was arcing really good when touching my integrated.

Not finding another humidifier I wanted at the local stores, I tired a simple, small bowl of water near the window and it did the trick. There appears to be just enough evaporation going on to offset the static electricity.

I wish all things worked this well and cheaply.

All the best,
