Being in the profession I am in, I find this thread to be somewhat amusing. I started my career in the early 80's as a PWB (printed wiring board designer) then into Engineering Manager, then Director, and then finally where I'm at as a VP/GM of an aerospace/defense contract manufacturer. For over forty years I've been involved in building things which ultimately go into things that fly and/or blow up. We do quite a bit of shock and vibe testing on most everything we build. Big vibe tables that look like a huge woofer facing upwards with a plate on it to hold an assembly down while completely wired up to electrical test equipment. Beyond that we have ESS (environmental) test chambers fed by liquid nitrogen so that the circuit under test can be thermal cycled up and down from -30 degrees C to +150 degrees C. Quite a few of these circuits are very complex containing a plethora of cap's resistors, diodes, transistors, BGA's, and with RF content as well. These circuits have to provide communications, video, GPS, etc...all while bouncing off the deck of an aircraft carrier, or being dropped from the likes of a B52. A CCA (circuit card assembly) in a hifi system lives a much easier life, so that is why this is somewhat amusing to me. Then again My Naim ND555 DAC/Streamer has its main CCA's mounted to brass plates weighing over five pounds each which are in turn are suspending on springs. When I was researching the unit prior to purchase, I found that to be amusing as well. It does produce lovely music.
