Update On the Trace Eliott ELF That I Blew Up.

"Probably :) " is a very incomplete sentence. And it's improper to start a sentence with the word "And." Damn us both :laugh::roflmao::laugh:

I really admire those who are proficient in multiple languages. I'm still struggling with my first language. But I do speak Cisco IOS fairly well. I used to speak some Pearl and "C," but that's long forgotten. Oops, can't start a sentence with "But" either. Damn me!

I speak better C++ and C# than English... but my Objective C is somewhat less objectively objective than it oughtta be.

I’m a licensed Avionics tech that now maintains medical equipment... it’s likely the term we’re looking for is BER... Beyond economical repair... anything can be fixed... whether it’s worth the time and money to fix it is a part of the question of do we fix it.... the amount of effort you’re going to expend to fix this is going to outweigh the effort you’d expend to replace it... I get it, it sucks to cook a new piece of gear... just don’t drive yourself more crazy about it than you have to...

(If it’ll make you feel better, I recently made a mistake that costs 4x the price of your amp... and that was just misdiagnosing a fault, ordering a very expensive part for a portable X-ray machine, realizing my mistake before I even got the part installed but having to pay the 20% restocking fee to return the part... so yeh, troubleshooting electronics can get expensive!)

All of this reminds me of a theater I use to run sound at. They had what was called a "wild leg". It was 150 volts or so. Originally ran for an elevator. I always carried a volt ohm meter with me and always checked the voltage before I connected my distro. Thank God I did at this place or I could have ruined thousands of dollars of equipment.
 
At what point can we consider this matter closed and have the Mods stop this?
Why close it? There have been no boundaries crossed.

As a positive person with a bubbly personality, I always look for the dark cloud lurking behind that silver lining. There is something for all of us to learn. I think that is, like cartoon marshmallows,

people take great joy in watching their own kind suffering.

I've pulled (goodness knows where it went last time when the cabinet broke in half) amps from combos, and turned them into heads, so I could use my amp with other cabinets. More flexible, more than a money saver.
