Hey all, I've been seeing little bugs and spiders around the house this summer and I'm wondering what would happen if one would find it's way into my audio gear......specifically my amp?. I've seen ants and some little spiders around it!!. Has anybody had anything like that happen to them and what was the outcome??.
Bugs in audio gear!!??

I've seen air conditioners (central air units) ruined by ants. Enough of them can bridge a hot to ground and BANG-the compressor is shot. Or worse , short one of the big 250 DCV , 500,000 microfarad and up capacitors that start the compressor. Bridge the + to the - while it's running and you get one helluva noise. And shrapnel. I would imagine audio caps are no more immune to such six-legged shenanigans. 8OLee
