[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 914084, member: 746"] Used to help a guy install (really unpack and plug in) audio components and most certainly met some anally retentive types. They inspect everything, even the cables, sometimes with a magnifying glass. Then tell you "of the 9 screws at the back of the unit, 8 are black and one is chrome". So you look and the chrome one is an earthing lug Then they have the floor marked with masking tape as to where he decided in advance the speakers must go, "having worked it out mathematically". The hot seat is bolted to the floor to prevent anyone moving it As you are playing the first CD from his vast selection of 16 CDs, he is looking through a catalogue and spots a more recent version of the amp he has just paid R500k for, which offers 0.001% less distortion and asks you if it would not be better having that one [/QUOTE]
