It's all them electrons getting kicked by that amplifier! Talk sweetly to it, pet it occasionally, that sort of thing. Works for me. If it doesn't work for you, threaten the sorry @#$%@# with a large hammer! That works too sometimes. Mine likes a particular kind of candy... ... you believing any of that? Oh well.
