Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?


I agree that I do not want a preamp or speaker coated with a film of smoke, but I am confused as to what a child or pet could do that would not be otherwise visible. You would see the cat scratches on the speaker grill, the dog chew marks on the rack, the iguana turds in the amplifier cooling vents. And what's a little dog hair among friends? As a 3 year old, I supposedly put my finger through my grandfather's new DIY speaker but I'm pretty sure he replaced the drivers so even that doesn't really matter. Most things will be visible and/or easily remedied.  Maybe the price will even be a little lower because of the cosmetics. If it doesn't mess with function, not a big deal to me.

What concerns me more is does it come from a drunk-free, drug-free home.  I think befuddled owners are far more worrisome than pets or children.

      You DO realize: he's a rather large individual, which may make his hands appear smaller.     After all, were all things relatively sized...but then again:

LOL!  Well, you know what "Little Marco" said about his hand size . . . but don't take his word--Stormy has made some comments about that also.

Electrostatic panels are real dust and fur magnets. When I sold my Logans to some poor unsuspecting twit on eBay I spent an hour grooming the panels before packing them into boxes. I pulled enough hair out of them to make a second, slightly smaller dog.
