Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna!
@rauliruegas Yeah, I hope to get more than another ten years out of them!  
Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna!
Hey All, Thanks for the input. With twenty eight capacitors per side in the amp. There are an extra two capacitors, if not three, per side. So if two per side end up failing, I can still use the amplifier. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want them repla...

@gs5556 Thanks, that's good for my mental health!  
Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna!
@larryi @kmtang ;  Everything is working as it should, obviously no need to concern myself with replacing capacitors at this stage. To be fair, I think my speaker tech has the tendency to overthink things. So what you’ve both shared is pragmatic a... 
JBL's Marketing Blunder..
Exaggerating stereotypes. It's essentially the same as Blaxploitation. Any wonder why people become nonconformists?  
Cincinnati's Audible Elegance Drops Naim
Lou, an attorney by vocation who uses 'was' instead of 'were'. But anyway, Audible Elegance is a small store and they have issues beyond the scope of what's presented here. Despite that, they are one of my favorite stores because they will go abov... 
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
Don’t worry about being insane. The crazier you are, the more I like you.

Nitrile gloves made it very easy.  
MBL 101E
Personally I wouldn’t spend that much money on eBay unless I could go to the sellers house and listen to them. I suppose I might be a bit distrusting but just because your paranoid, it doesn’t mean people aren’t following you.

@muzikat Thanks for the encouragement, I switched it out today. Honestly, given what it looked like when I took the original receptacle out of the wall, I likely made things much safer.

@jazzguy43 I have done a live recepticle exchange without getting shocked. I replaced the positive first. White, Black and then Ground. But for whatever reason now, I’m in a current state of neurosis, always contradicting myself. Really though, if...

@jazzguy43 When I’m working in a NASCAR pit crew, yes.

@waytoomuchstuff I would have asked if the landlord were chilled but I’m certain he’ll object. So I could just change it out while wearing gloves and while being careful not to touch any of the wires together or use the current receptacle until I ...

@rar1 The houses are Victorian. Twelve foot ceilings. Possibility they are knob and tube wiring as my previous apartment was wired this way when built in 1887.

@rel Been watching ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’. Anyway, I’m certain that the building inspector has been out. Still it does seem odd that I can’t access the breaker box. Either way, I don’t want to start a fight with the landlord. Do people ever think ...
