Static Shock?


Hi, when the weather is colder and dry(winter) I have always experienced a nice arcing shock when I first touch my system anywhere after walking up to it(only the first touch). Has anyone a cure for this? I dread it when I must adjust something or change a disc or do anything really that has to do with touching any component. Thanks.

I have been experiencing the same thing. When I wear my house slippers I always get a nice jolt. My Hi-Tech "hiking boots do the same thing. My tennis shoes do not produce the static. Neither do my bare feet.
I have isolated the source of the static and it has to be the material from my listening chair.
It doesn't matter if everything is powered down or not I still get the same jolt when I touch any of the knobs.
