The owner requested replacement of a couple of pots and unusually requested
the amp be blown out. Being unusual request I enquired what is likely to be
in there requiring blowing out but he seemed a bit cagey.
Inside there are perhaps tens of thousands of precisely 2mm long black
fibres, about human hair thickness. I first thought chopped strand
carbon-fibre but these are less tham 30 Megohm resistance , isn't carbon
fibre conductive?

Could they actually be human hairs? is the owner a trendy short beard
type or a skin head ?

It could be shedded carpet covering off a new speaker cabinet, I`ve seen
it come off bass cabs a bit like that.

greater than 30M that should have been , but as "carpet" fibres a bit
irrelevant know
