Nice article. Now when will someone get on the case of the true output
of audio devices? Most 25 watt amplifiers from the 50's will blow away
a 50 watt or higher rated amplifier made today. They used to measure in
RMS (root mean square), now they normally rate the peak wattage. It's
been a joke for many decades.

What this has to do with a cold compressor I don't know. ;-)
