It doesn’t surprise me. A few years after stopping I was at a party and the rig was sounding dire. After a while of convincing someone that I knew what I was doing I took a quick look at their setup and my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

EDIT: and I don’t mean the quality of equipment used, as everyone has to start somewhere, I meant how it was wired up, with regards to signal and power. Knowledge is widely accessible in this day and age. I certainly don’t think I know sound inside and out and there is a lot I don’t know. It’s important to make sure you have a basic understanding before throwing a party though. Not only can you have rather embarrassing problems but you could also be risking people’s lives!
