[Amps] Good amp to buy

[Carl]

Ive asked that question many times and the concensus has always been one 
dirty word....Lawyers!

These days some doofus burning his fingers with a soldering iron will run to 
a shyster. Can you imagine this same bozo getting a HV belt across the room 
even when he had to remove the cover with a HV warning label and disable the 
interlock??
