    Possibly the same MIJ unit as this guy which I have, or at least another to keep your eyes out for on garage sale day. Will have to crack it open and take a look.

    If I get around to using the 2020's again (ditto turn on thump eeeks!), maybe will have to see if it makes any difference.

    As horrific as it can seem, so long as it doesn't exceed the safe limits of anything in the audio stream, it's just another waveform, no better or worse than a few milliseconds of any given musical program of the same level.

    I know I just don't like the way it sounds !! Can't help to think my poor speakers ! Just a involuntary reaction I suppose.

    Yep, it sounds bad 'cause it's isolated. You wouldn't notice as much it it were in the music. There is a simple way to avoid it if you can solder a little.

    Don't you just need an on/off switch in your speaker wires?

    Actually better to use one of the methods suggested by Pano. The contacts in a switch can become flaky over time and add resistance, and possibly other anomalies to the circuit. I'm of the school that believes the straighter the path between amplifier and speakers, the more wild the party for the ears/brain.

    Wanna hear something depressing? I just heard the snow plow go by and shouldn't be hearing that for another 6-10 weeks.

    That is. Stuff like that this time of year usually only happens in North Dakota. I remember walking the kids down the street on Holloween in my long johns and a hot thermos of coffee/rum at around 0 degrees.
