Thanks for the ideas. I'm still actively trouble shooting this. I'm
wondering if a silicone spray or Wd-40 is too much to spray? In the
mean time, Cornell is sending me a loaner cord that connects the Nagra
to the Telinga Mic to see if it's just the cord. I also tried Roger's
idea with the grounded copper wire but it didn't allleviate the
static. There is definately something that's out of wack since any
metal part that I touch either on the mic or the Nagra causes an
electric pop or tick sound as if there is static electricity or
something isn't grounded right and then inbetween that there is the
intermittent static (faint crackling). Luckily this is happening here
in the states and not hundreds of miles from the nearest road in a
dugout canoe somewhere in the Amazon Basin! I've still got a window of
time to figure it out before I fly south. All of the input has been
greatly appreciated.....
