Except for some strange reason the very resistors that Rich
calculates to be perfectly fine commonly fail!
Rich is my secret partner, he charges people for mods that I charge
them to remove. We both make money and gain fame on the deal, only
the customer looses.
I tossed-out dozens of one ohm resistors that measured five to
twenty ohms after being operated for a few months in "nearly
perfect" PA's, even though that can "never happen" as confirmed by
Rich's flawless calculation methods.
