Audiophile Electrocution


On one of the company-sponsored discussion boards I read (for my brand of speakers), the head of the company is always warning us about power and how dangerous it is and how careful we must be. And we all read a lot of stern warnings about not opening up amps, about household wiring, licensed electricians and what not. I don't want to make light of this of this. But I am curious; do you know of any audiophiles who have been hurt or killed while tinkering with their systems? Have you been zapped?

Back in the late 70s my Buddy had his 68 Dodge Charger and the battery was dead so we hooked up a battery Charger to the battery in the Car but left the battery still hooked up to the car. Well my Buddy had to get something in the car. I should say there was a big puddle of water on the drivers side of the car and as my friend went to grab the door handle well standing in the puddle. I swear he was levitating about a foot off the ground and I could hear him saying something like PUUULLL THHHE PLUUUG, PUUULL TTHHE PPPLUUG!!! The 68 Dodge Charger definitely live up to it's name that day.
