    Not too far off the mark, I took an audiophile friend to a live classical concert. An 80 piece orchestra playing Beethoven's 6th symphony and we had good seats, 10th row center. He didn't enjoy it at all. He felt the bass response was not very good and he couldn't locate individual instruments very easily.

    Actually, that's Elon Musk's new, green solution for low-earth orbital satellite launches.

    EDIT: I do want to note that the Nostradamus of my era, Gary Larson, predicted this... well... sorta.

    I think it's a black and white cat thing. Zappa used to do something quite similar -- if you petted him, and then stopped, and if he felt that he had received an insufficient number of pets, he would reach up and tap you to indicate that the wise human would resume the pets. :#

    I tried a few times late in his life to photo-document this behavior, but only sort-of succeeded with one brief video... which, yes, I did upload to YT. Since it's a video, it's non-compliant for this thread ;) -- so here's a coupla blurry screen captures. :blush:

    Looks like a preamp.
    I wonder if you open the black box with the two tubes on it, if there's another, slightly smaller black box inside?
