Must be my old eyes missing something (like a cover for the exposed teminals) but I guess it adds meaning to a "Live Show"

So much to learn, so little time.

What exposed terminals?

I've never understood the fascination with mocking this sort of thing. If someone believes this gives them better sound, what's the harm? I heard there's actually people that believe there's an old guy with a beard that lives in the sky and made the world! Now there's a sucker!

They aren't exposed terminals - they are the screws for the stress relief clamp.

/me wonders if he does a 15A model might make the spa bubbles better! :-)

The next time I do an electrical installaton I must remember to buy ten of these and and bury them in the foundations. Then I can tell the client he wont even need to plug anything in as it will already work.
