I am thinking it needs a new pop. Sounded like it lost it's pop.

I need to go buy some pop and I guess shake it up and spray it around inside.

Was going to say, the POP function is out of vogue these days. Clip it out, tape and hide the wires. And tell no one.

I prefer soda to pop.

They always sound best right before they 'splode.

Funny story...

I recently moved a couple things.

I take a nap... I wake up and make coffee... get ready to open amp up.. I plug ipad into Sony speaker rig. Power doesn't work. I trace the cable to the 6 outlet distribution on this end of the amps... flip switch back and forth..

I traced that over to the rack. I see the outlet with the other distribution plugged in and dropped to the left side.. ok..

I flipped that switch.

Box is under left side cabinet and a signal cable's slack is wrapped and pushed under there.

Wire turn off amp side distribution.

I am on my way to a one star Yelp review.

Might as well buy some Champagne, shake it up real good and then give it all a good spray when it pop's!

I explained to a friend how a power switch and a fuse sound the same. Small arc in switch, arc across gap of burning filament.. same thing.

I am on my way to a *** Yelp review.

Amp out the door, happy owner.
Small batch bourbon, happy tech.
Technical stumble, soon forgotten.

Wuzzat? A self generated safety air gap? Gotta protect it from lightning, sometimes that's all it takes.
