	I have a static electricity problem, now that cold weather is 
	here.  Whenever I touch my stereo (the receiver or the tape 
	deck, anyway), you can hear this "ZAP!" through the speakers.

	I'd like to cure this problem, as I'm worried not only about
	damaging the stereo and the speakers, but it doesn't sound 
	good, either.  A friend mentioned grounding the speakers and
	putting a capacitor between something or other.

	Anyone with any suggestions on how to cure this problem (don't
	tell me to buy a humidifier, I'm looking for a cheaper solution),
	please mail me a note.  If there's enough interest, I'll summarize
	to the net.

Thanks in advance,
