There's a lot of talk about "dampening" various stereo components. The methods described sound like so much trouble... I just decided to keep a spray bottle near my equipment rack and give my gear a nice misting every week, while I'm watering the house plants. I seem to be replacing tubes more frequently now, but overall, it's an easy approach.
Audio Cliche Usage Guide
To help all those in need, I propose the Audiogon Audio Cliche Usage Guide.
____________________________________________________________
Audio Cliche #1 - "My lost is your gain". Correct usage, "My loss is your gain".
Lost means missing, or no longer possessed. If you still own the unit, then you still possess the unit, and it is not lost.
Loss refers to the decrease in the amount of money resulting from re-selling the item at a lower price on Audiogon.

Audio Cliche #2 - "I sold all my gears." Correct usage, "I sold all my gear."
Gears refers to several multi-toothed wheels used in motors and machinery.
Gear is a collective term that means all the components that comprise a system...like an audio system.
