How many of us look under the hood??


I usually am curious about inner workings of something that I bought. I look cumpulsiveley only when when it fails or does soimething else that is unpleasant
I don't look inside my gear at anytime now as I can't even solder.
The only exception is for speakers. Why I pick speakers is beyond me. I know there is nobody singing and playing their hearts out. I think that actually know somthing about speakers.This is patenley false, not true of course, but I can't help not looking any at some point if possible.
How about you?

I check my amplifiers. It's difficult sometimes to get a schematic, so a little follow the wire investigation under the hood helps. Found an unattenuated input once. Best I can figure, the previous owner deleted the cap and resistor for use as a high gain phono stage. I was glad I looked.
Chashmal, all my gear is tube and in case you did not know the tubes are not in place when product X comes brand new. RWA amp runs on batteries so is Dodd (also tube).
P.S
Remind me to charge you extra 10 % on my sells. For not checking out my gear. ;)
I love speakers and love taking out the woofer or tweeter to have a look around inside at driver's back /wire/crossover. It's like porno for me. I just love caressing a big 15" woofer.. or a 12 or 10 or 8 or 6.5 etc.
Mrjstark: I was only kidding. From the looks of your rig and listening room you seem to know exactly what you are doing, which I do not (on an under the hood level)!
