Ahh yes, the gift that keeps on giving.
Every year about this time I travel to Cherry Valley, NY to visit my father and get away from the sticky south. During the visit I have always had to put up with my ol' man's POS 1979 department store 2 way paper cone / '89sony avr setup. (and that's if he didn't insist on playing me stuff on his computer monitor's built in's)
He's a real music lover just never cared about playback. So for his 60'th I decided to build him a system that I could stand. Picked up everything off CL (I love him but I ain't rich) and gave it to him for his birthday.
His year round system / my vacation rig:
Hafler DH-110
Adcom GFA 5300
Polk Monitor 5jr+ (I keep forgetting how good these little guys sound:D)
The weather can't be beat around here and now it sounds good too!
This got me to thinking........
What do you all do during vacation?
Do you have a rig in the "cabin"?
A mad auto system?
Or do you give the ears a rest too?

ha for vacation I'm normally trying to find any local audio store I can. I live in the "country" so when its vacation for me it normally means going to a city to get away lol.

My vacation rig consists of a 1st generation Zune.
And back before I got laid off and actually had some money. Vacation consisted of hitting every pawn shop I could find in that area. Scouring Craigslist for interesting things to meet up with someone in that area when I get there. Can be a great way to find deals on guitars.
I was in Charleston, SC a few weeks ago. It mainly consisted of walking on the beach looking for shells. So yeah...poor and getting old. lol--Gary--
Onkyo Integra M504, Bottlehead Foreplay III, Denon SACD, Thiel CS2.3, NHT VT-2, VT-3 and Evolution T6, Infinity RSIIIa, SDA1C and a few dozen other speakers around the house I change in and out. -
