I almost exclusively work in software so it is always a pleasure to learn about the electrical engineering side of things.
So true.
I was poking around inside a small headphone amplifier to see what was causing a crackling noise (I assumed a loose wire some place) when I tugged a bit too hard and popped off some otherwise healthy wires. I was crushed.
Then I realized I have a soldering iron. I did a crap job (I too am way more CS than EE) but I reattached the wires and got it working again.
Later I learned that the crackling was coming from the cable being plugged into the amp, which was basically fine.
