    Didn't mythbusters have a go at getting this to happen (unsuccessfully)?

    as if we would, why everyone knows without argueing that the best way to get rid of the static is to tune in properly and have good speakers.

    There's an even simpler way to prevent static shocks from your ducting:

    Live in a high humidity area!

    The air never gets dry enough here to worry about static shocks.

    (Do you think if I connected it to the system that would change things?)

    Possibly, but you don't want to rush into these things .

    I reckon we'd all get a shock if you did.

    I've used Cuddly on my ducts for a long time now. Everybody says my ducts are much whiter and brighter than any they've seen. They are much softer too.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
