    In general. Switch on last, switch off last should cover it!!!

    Wow, that puts it in context. What does that not weigh? That has to be a two man lift surely Oliver?

    I remember the Krell, it was that film, Forbidden Planet with Walter Pigeon and a very young Leslie Nielson. Loosely based around Shakespear's The Tempest.

    One thing I learned the hard way, always lower the volume when changing sources, etc. The Krell instructions told me to, but it didn’t register until one day not long ago I was jamming the radio fairly loud and decided to play a CD. I had walked half way across the room when the first note came through and I literally DOVE across the room to turn it down! Scared the crap out of me! Loud isn’t the word for it, I imagined speaker parts flying across the room. But the big Legacys took it, I think it moved the back wall out another few inches?

    These amps flow some real current, and could cause real damage if care isn’t exercised. It’s like driving a car with 450BhP. Fun with an element of danger!

    HaHa. I did something similar with my big Coral horns. Nearly blew me out of my socks. Serves me right for connecting up a 220 watt amp to 102db sensitivity speakers!

    Yes and be careful cuing a record as well. Bounce it down and the thump can blow your drivers.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
