I'm coming in hot this week again.

This time, my desktop audio setup is one of those like, you know, the desk is very clean,

at least when it's not covered in other crap.

But like my desk is very clean and it looks like I have a very simple audio setup.

Three boxes all next to each other with all like neatly tucked away cables. One of them

is a Zoom, I think it's the F1, yeah, the Zoom F1, which serves as my kind of backup hardware

recorder for podcasting. Next to that is my sound devices USB Pre2, which is my main microphone interface. And to the left of that is my sound devices USB Pre-2, which is my main microphone interface.

And to the left of that is the American Audio Amplifier Company named after a swear word

that looks German but isn't.

That would be sheep.

Yeah, thanks.

They have a product called the the jottenheim that i've

used as my headphone amp and speaker volume control and there are switches in the front of

the so i can switch between podcasting uh which uses a different input and stuff like that and so

that's kind of my my audio output control center.

And earlier this afternoon, I left a house to go pick up my kid from school.

I come back and I notice upstairs it smells like someone has left an iron on. Oh, no.

Oh, God.

What is that?

Did the magic smoke escape?

So it smells, it doesn't, okay, I have smelled like a blown capacitor, I think, or a

melted capacitor.
