    That's what you get for being an individual and going IB.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Sorry to read about your ordeal.

    I think a lot of people can relate: Parties is where most people try their hand at smoking as well.
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    You were changing gear attached to the amp while the amp was ON??? I hope you learned your lesson.

    My Samson S1000 (for my SVS 20-39CS+ and Buttkicker LFE) has been running 24/7 for over 4 years now. It's a freakin' miracle the fans haven't gone out at least. I occasionally hose the dust out of it with canned air, but I never turn it off.

    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
