My 565 Orion is also extremely sensitive to any static discharge when I
start to plug in the phones. Same deal as yours - kills the audio - I have
adopted my personal Orion salute which involves holding the phone plug in
one hand and grounding myself to the Centurion case before touching the
Orion - That has always worked for me -
145 days with no precipitation is no help for static eletricity conditions
either ! Maybe the xyl's six cats are no help either !
