Hve you ever blown your equipment up ?

Just wanted to know if you guys ever had some accidents and blew something up ?
I once spilled some beer on my keyboard and it sounded better lol.
And what did you say and do when you did ?
Maybe you scratched a record or your dog or cat did something to your collection or equipment ?
Take it easy guys Sound Evolution

my girlfriend dumped a huge piece of papaya on one of my records the other day... i just wiped it off though, so i guess that doesn't count.

sometimes when i fuck a mix up i want to blow my mixer up. But lately i still cant find out why my system has been sounding like shit, sounds distorted not only on the speakers but in the headphones.

sounds like you have the levels too high. put the EQ at all 12 oclock, and turn the gain so the levels are just peaking at 0db, and it should sound good. otherwise, you mixer might be fuct. what kind of mixer do you have?

Lost a computer.

And a 3000 watt amp.

Puter was my fault. After turning 21 and drinking heavily for about 7 hours i mistook my computer for the pisser. Enuf said

Lost the amp at a party we (my crew) Djed at. Bitch just overheated clicked, stopped, sparked and lit up.

I blew up a fume cupboard in a chemistry room in year 11. I dumped about 3 kg of potassium into a a deep bowl of water. The effect was.........for lack of a better word...... impressive.
Just glad I was behind the protective screen thingy bobby.
