It's almost enough to make me stop buying amps.
A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers.
At this time I would like to make a pleading request to manufacturers of audio electronics. Please in the name of all that is holy stop putting sharp heatsinks on the outside of your devices. In the decades that I have been involved in this hobby the collected skin that has been carved from my toes, ankles, fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, etc. is equal to the combined weight of a professional football team. The blood I have lost could have saved the lives of 100 hemophiliacs. I have come to fear my own devices as if they were the vampires or werewolves of legends. Can you not round the edges, put covers over them or locate them inside the case? Freddie Krueger has not inflicted as much carnage as the combined horror of all this equipment. The combination of 50 lbs. of transformer weight and 6 square feet of rabid heatsink is a guarantee of laceration when moving any of these monsters. So if anyone out there can hear me I am begging, pleading, will pay for, changes to this abominable practice of covering your products with ravening metal blades lusting after our flesh.Thank you.

Even my current custom SET amp has sharp fins. https://www.facebook.com/pierre.menard.7374/posts/1168518823604957 |
Mercy with kids around you couldn't stay out of the emergency with that one. I can't EVER remember getting cut. I'm not kidding either. Mechanics and cuts go together BUT dash work was a killer for me when my forearms would get to big.. Go get the scrawny apprentice. Every HD mechanic was the same. Get the runt... See if you can fish that hose through there, pull back a bloody stump, through his coveralls. Apprenticeships are tough... :-) Regards |
