Education for the interested, and capable:Bratzi recommends;

I really like the book, "The Theory and Servicing of AM, FM and FM Stereo
Receivers" by Clarence R. Green and Robert M. Bourque. The second edition
is sligtly retitled, "Troubleshooting, Servicing and Theory of AM, FM and
FM Stereo Receivers".

Bereft of audiophoolery, it covers the basics pretty well. This book
along with the US Navy rate manuals (free and out of copyright and very
excellent) or Electricity 1-7 (copyright and expensive but good) has most
of what you need for audio.

Now will the geriatric doofus Twaddlebottom purchase and study these
books so that he is no longer technically ignorant? No, I believe
experience teaches, he will not. His IQ has been attenuated by age and
liberal nonsense-twaddle so that he probably couldn't anyway.

If there is any doubt about the brain-fuddling effects of liberal
twaddle, one must read the definitive treatment of that subject:

See in particular the story of Dr. Michel Chasles, a mathematical pioneer
of considerable stature, who was befuddled into paying most of a
substantial fortune for the most blatantly transparent forged historical
documents, such as a purported letter from Cleopatra-in 16th century
French-on rag paper-written with a steel pen.

Sounds like our Twaddlebottom all right.
