I have to admit I'm completely dumb when it comes to electronics. What I find interesting is when somebody buys a piece of gear, the first thing that seems to happen is the tops come off and a picture is posted.

I've never done this since I would have no clue to what I'm looking at. I do realize that there are several folks here that know what they are looking at but the rest?

What is the fascination of a bunch of squiggly wires and colored chunks of plastic?

    Gordon, it's like poping the hood on a new car, and why they have transparent sides on computers......It's a Guy thing.

    Just a quick warning, the newer Mac stuff I've had doesn't come apart very easily.

    No kidding Mike! I was going to change the tubes in my C2200 and after about 3 hours of sweating blood, I gave up and traded it in for the C1000!

    As far as anything else, it goes back to McIntosh or AC. I'm a chicken!

    I'd always be concerned it might look like this Bryston BP-16 :D
