i never noticed this static shock before i got this new receiver.
Perhaps the older receiver was a two prong isolated chassis type, so touching the chassis didn't provide a ground. Then you substitute a three prong grounded chassis type component and you start to get the snap. Either way, the humidity level in the home determines how much static will be built up when you walk around.
