I was helping a friend with his home cinema. He's spent the last
couple years constructing a dedicated room in his previously
unfinished basement (more work than it sounds like, there were many
issues to deal with).
So, he finally gets the room done, and he pulls his equipment out of
storage, where it's been for even more years. Right off, the output
stage in his main stereo amp goes-out. Worse yet, his very nice
3-Chip D-ILA projector (that he bought used and saved $thousands on)
was dead (and I don't mean the bulb).
What a bummer! He was hoping to have the first big show-off of it
this coming weekend, but no-go...
