It's pretty much a given with tubed preamps that at some point you will have the lid off. I look at the quality of the solder joints, internal layout and overall quality of construction. I always like the photos in the magazines of components with the lid off. I am not impressed with 18,000.00 preamps with a folded sheetmetal case like the BAT Rex but at least it has plenty of electrical goodies to look at.
How many of us look under the hood??
I usually am curious about inner workings of something that I bought. I look cumpulsiveley only when when it fails or does soimething else that is unpleasant
I don't look inside my gear at anytime now as I can't even solder.
The only exception is for speakers. Why I pick speakers is beyond me. I know there is nobody singing and playing their hearts out. I think that actually know somthing about speakers.This is patenley false, not true of course, but I can't help not looking any at some point if possible.
How about you?
