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?

It definitely lowers the noise floor. Somehow it dramatically improves ac whether in the component or in the ac cord coming to it. This I really don't understand, but it is true.
I always open 'em up and look inside, but I don't fool with anything-- I'll work on my motorcycle, which I understand pretty well, or turntables, which aren't really much different in principle. I do work on my loudspeakers, which are pretty straightforward classics, but put more than a choke and a cap or two in there and I'm lost.
Doctor (Mechans), don't every forget that when we met that day with Michael (Sufentanil) I told you to run, not walk, away from this hobby...
You have to be real careful poking around in there. Back in '76 I was tuning a filter in a receiver and got a little too close to a couple hundred volts. Next thing I know I'm sitting against the wall on the floor six feet away. Still don't remember the short trip there, but remember the confusion I had before I started to regain my senses.
