JJ 3000 I love westoms' claim that they "replaced every semiconductor" in every computer.
Again demonstrates why stereo installers need not know how electricity works. And why America needs so many immigrants from India and China to do the work.
I said, “replacing every damaged semiconductor”. With simple electrical knowledge, then you would know that is only a few semiconductors. And you also know *why* so few components are damaged – from a concept even taught in second grade science class.
But reality is not his popular myth. A junk scientist sees damage. Then *knows* a surge damages all motherboard ICs. Nonsense. Very few components are damaged during a surge that passed through the motherboard to find earth, destructively, via the network. Gizmologist would have known that with basic electrical knowledge, with surge experience, OR by first reading what was actually posted. Instead, he only reads what he wants to read. Since you *know* without first learning facts, you even recommended Monster Cable (and other so called ‘high quality’) surge protectors.
Only the most technically ignorant believe surges damage "every semiconductor". You assumed because, and again, due to near zero electrical knowledge. Explains why you recommend what even the manufacturer will not claim. Had you read what was written (rather than intentionally distort), that quote would read, "
replacing every damaged semiconductor". But that means learning rather than parroting what you were told to believe by a sales brochures. That means being honest. Honesty also explains why you also cannot quote what was really written; cannot even grasp how electricity really works.
Those who recommend plug-in protectors and UPSes will read selectively.
Where is that manufacturer spec that claims protection? Still not provided for one obvious and simple reason. Even the manufacturer will not claim what urban myth purveyors routinely post. Only the most technically ignorant (and dishonest) will refuse to post even one manufacturer numeric specification. One who cannot accurately quote four words should have no problem inventing manufacturer specs. Oh. Inventing numbers means one must have minimal electrical knowledge. Could be too difficult for the many naysayers.
Many plug-in protectors (in fine print) admit that reality.
“Does not protect from lightning”. Why install surge protectors? To protect from direct lightning strikes and from all other lesser surges. Why would anyone recommend a protector that does not protect? Selective reading. Misquoting. Insufficient knowledge. Dishonesty. Excessive ego. No education (even forgot second grade science). Does not know how electricity works. Which means he can hang speakers for a living.
Also explains why Monster Cable identified an obscenely profitable market selling both plug-in protectors and ‘speaker wire with polarity’ to *experts* such as Gizmologist. No wonder America needs so many immigrants to do work that requires an education (including second grade science). He cannot even quote a few words in a sentence without getting it wrong. Honesty is not the naysayers.
Meanwhile, informed consumers upgrade household earthing to meet and exceed post 1990 code. Then spend tens or 100 times less money for one ‘whole house’ protector. Informed consumers are too smart to fall for Gizmologist’s scams and constant insults. Informed consumers install what has been proven effective for the past 100+ years. Amazing how the kids know that 100 years of knowledge is wrong. Selective reading. Misquoting. Posting insults. Perfect examples of a plug-in protector spokesman. No wonder the Silicon Valley must go to India and China for their employees. Gizmologist is too busy.
