Three months ago, my DIY subwoofer went silent. I unscrewed the amplifier module to check whether a fuse had blown. But I couldn't find a fuse. After two months, I wanted to discard the sub. When I unplugged the power cable, I noticed the thick socket and sure enough, there was the damn fuse in a little drawer. But wait, there is more, there was even a replacement fuse inside. The bass has been right again for a month now. Sometimes you're stupid and still get lucky in the end - after two months of no fun. :facepalm:

It makes you wonder what else you've thrown away in your life that was still in perfect condition.

Doubt it... They were dating him after all...

OH DEAR - it appears my attempt at light hearted tomfoolery may have been misinterpreted. I don't know Ron. I'm sure Ron is a wonderful human being (he is here with us at ASR, and we're all wonderful!).

I've been there - after a power surge that trashed a lot of items around my house and buildings I thought it had taken out my Okto Dac8 Pro ($$$$) and despaired for days after a fuse replacement didn't solve the problem. Due to the awkward angle I was working at I had replaced the fuse but put it in the spare fuse position! Tremendous relief at being stupid!

According to some who know me I threw my life away on drugs, hobbies and irresponsible behaviour

After my video recorder broke down, I threw away all my VHS tapes around 2005.

I later found out that there was such a thing as VHS-HiFi.
