The death of an amplifier


When an amplifier finally passes away what is usually the cause for it's demise? Can this be prevented? I'm looking to do some preventative maintenence. HELP!

Well Nrchy you can get away with it on the 4th thursday of every month as long as it is an odd day- I know it its tricky but stick with it and it will make sense ;) ~Tim
The last I heard the statistics read "there is at least one death per amplifier."
As long as your like that liquid sound. I hang my stuff in fishnetting from the ceiling, nice and airy sound....actually seriously, I bought a product Stererophile tried several years back. It's called Blocker2[vapor corrosion inhibitors made by Music Sciences, St. Paul min.USA. It is environmentally friendly. I don't even know if you can still get this. I think I bought mine from Muisc Direct. I used it in my preamp. Lasts2-5years. Anyone else try this? Is it still made? Good luck.
