Is this the first time the dog’s expressed it’s opinion of your system? Just curious! Perhaps the caption should have read, "The Effect of Sound Quality on My Dog". Interesting experiment, covering both the fields of contact treatments and Animal Psychology.
The effect of my dog on sound quality
So, just a few hours ago I did some cable swapping and power conditioning experimentation with the little PLC power conditioner and a Wiremold power strip. Everything just snapped into place - the proverbial veil had been lifted. I happily made a quick run to the store to pick up some snacks and beverages. Came back and put on another record, and.....some static in the right channel. Did a stylus cleaning and checked all the connections to discover that during my trip to the store my dog had peed into the power strip!!! Thank god nothing was damaged (including my dog).
I took the power cords out and cleaned the prongs with contact cleaner. Hopefully that will be enough to save them from damage. But there is quite a bit of urine in the power strip. Is it time to buy a new one? Should I let it dry and try it? If it sounds better, have I discovered an unknown tweak? :) Seriously, though, is there any danger in using the power strip after it dries out?
Cheers,
Scott
