Man have you guys ever noticed Stereo Shops smell so good! Like the smell of wood and warm electronics...wish I could duplicate that...without the obvious of buying all the gear!
Sorry didn't know if this was "Off Topic", but it didn't seem to fit in with World Peace and Paint Ball.

Seems perfectly on-topic to me, after all, it's DIY and Hi-Fi
I suspect a lot of it is trace amounts of solvents and other stuff burning off as a lot of gear in a small space is burned in. Probably quite nasty...

More like burn it in a MDF and solder flux fire.paulb said:Maybe flushing a whole bunch of money down the toilet would do it.

Don't need to buy all. Just use a heat sink less than optimum size for Pass SOZ. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... nice smell.

The smell doctor reports...
It's easy. Pour a measured amount of vacuum cleaner bag fluff over a radiant electric fire. Approximately 1mg of evenly distributed fluff per desired year of equipment's age.
For valve gear: Vigourously cut SRBP board, or if you're posh, machine Tufnol on your lathe. For hot transformers, fry a very small piece of smoked bacon. Add radiant fire/fluff to suit.
For transistor kit, bung some high-temperature wire in the oven on "warm", and turn the radiant fire on really low, depending on desired age.

Stereo shop and especially repair shop people don't clean. Why? Because they are mostly men! In combination of burning electronics is that the most important cause for the delicious smell. I can know, because i work in a repair and audio shop!
You want that smell at home?
1. Dump your wife, so she can't clean at your place.
2. Put all the electronics on all day long.
3. Burn cheap electronics.
