It's not enough that someone (me) pokes public fun at his foolishness. You
have to rub it in by calling him stupid, as well.




Your friend wasn't the stupid one.

He didn't fry his gear plugging someone else's gear into it.



For a person who
(apparently) doesn't have a lot of experience servicing equipment, you not
only lack a sense of humor, but you're quick to snipe at someone who
probably knows a lot more than you do, you rude louse.


Oh, and by the way, I fixed my gear. It is playing perfectly as I type.


God knows, it took long enough. The next time you want help, don't expect me
to be offering it.


Maybe some day you will learn to fix your own gear without sending it out.


Unless you're well past 40 (or so) I was servicing electronic equipment
before you were born. And I worked as a paid technician for a short time.
The store owner (Jack Rubinson of Chestnut Hill Audio in Philadelphia)
complimented me for never having callbacks. I made sure stuff was properly
fixed before it went out.

By the way, the next time the output transistors in the Lux blew, I replaced
and rebiased them myself. It was no big deal. But the amp is still working,
over 25 years later.
