Going through some old pictures I found one of my old closets filled with unused equipment and got a chuckle out of it. Most of the stuff was sold when I lost my job so it turned out to be my closet of survival...

Whats in your closet?

    Dang, Chuck. How many Equalizers did you go through? did you daisy-chained them? more bass and treble? :p
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Seems to me you should just run a SECOND or THIRD system out of your closet....just install an electrical outlet and a power conditioner in there and you're ready to spin some tunes. Me I'm in Asia and I have NO CLOSET in my home office so a bunch of equipment is piled up next to my desk at the moment...an older Panasonic DVD/CD changer, a set of Cambridge Soundworks Model 6 bookshelves, a Pioneer BD51F Blu-ray I bought just before I took off for China, an old Kenwood integrated amp, pair of Rat-shack Pro-LX7 Lineaum bookshelves, an el cheapo Sherwood 2 channel receiver, and god knows what else!!

    I had seperate 30 band eq's for each channel of a 5.1 HT as well as bass 5 octave EQ's for 4 sub channels. This pic is after I sold most of them. They were on sale, what can I say. :o
