[GalFisk] Hi-Fi

Postby GalFisk » Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:04 am

I know water and electricity doesn't mix. So why did I ask how to pour liquid in my amplifier?

Was the liquid water? Was the amplifier plugged in? Activated? Were you trying to repair the amplifier? Improve it in some way?

Liquid nitrogen?
Amplifier as in the electronic device that is used to improve sound? something else?

Would the liquid stay in the amplifier? congeal? evaporate?
Was it to be poured directly into the casing? into some specific part? (or onto some specific part?)
Was the casing broken?
Would the liquid fix a problem? improve sound quality? prevent the amplifier from breaking?

Would the liquid stay in the amplifier? Maybe.congeal? Probably. evaporate? No.
Was it to be poured directly into the casing? into some specific part? (or onto some specific part?) Ny question was about where exactly to pour it.
Was the casing broken? No.
Would the liquid fix a problem? improve sound quality? Thisish, no to the rest.prevent the amplifier from breaking?

Was the liquid food? Did it congeal? Was it a temporary fix?

Was there actually liquid poured into the amplifier?
Was your request serious?
Was the liquid some sort of glue?
Did you want to clean the amplifier?
Did something unusual happen to the amplifier before? did it stop to work? were you not satisfied with how it was working?

Did someone give you some advice about how to improve the working of the amplifier that you found dubious/ludicrous? and you made fun of the suggestion by interpreting it as though it were asking you to pour liquid into the amplifier?

Does it matter how you asked the question (as in, in face to face conversation, over the phone, in a written note, on a web forum, etc.)? to whom?

As your question was about how to pour liquid in, was the idea that your amplifier is sealed all around and there is no way of pouring anything in?
Would the liquid be oil? alcohol?

Is it liquid nitrogen? (or any other liquid that is a gas under normal conditions?)
Was the idea to cool or freeze the amplifier?

So we have established that the liquid is neither water, nor a drink, nor a liquified gas, nor oil, nor glue, nor alcohol.
And we know that the liquid will eventually congelate when it stays in the amplifier.
And you (semi-jokingly) expect that to improve sound quality. Right so far?
So is the liquid then a solution of something? a solvent? a detergent? liquid soap? a flammable liquid?
An actually existing liquid? a fictional liquid?
Relevant at all which liquid?

So is the liquid then a solution of something? a solvent? a detergent? liquid soap? Neither, but this is closest. a flammable liquid?
An actually existing liquid? Yes. a fictional liquid? so no.
Relevant at all which liquid? Yesish.

Was it some kind of medicine? Cough mixture? Maybe cough drops would've done the job better. You weren't REALLY going to put the liquid into your amplifier, right? WAG: was your amp making a coughing noise? Were you trying to clean it? Other things you might've tried relevant? Cough drops?

Is it soapwater? Is the liquid inkish? Is your liquid sticky when dried on skin? Do you want to maintain the sound quality of the amplifier+whatever instrument?

Close enough for a

***SPOILER***

I've always thought the label on my girlfriend's favorite hair conditioner sounds more like an electronics ad, so I posted a joke question on a forum about how to use it in my stereo.
