On the audio side.....

Carver C-16 preamp. MINT. Original box/manual/packing.

Yesterday, I got another Carver TFM-45, so now I have two bridged for 1000wpc mono.

Got a new set of kitchen knives, a couple cd's and dvd's.

No socks and drawers though. It's just not Christmas without new socks and drawers!!

    Perfect for your power-hungry Amazings - can't ever have too much power going to large full range speakers. Have you tried it yet?

    Matter-o-fact.....I have.

    I consulted with George who was fearing that I would blow something up to ensure proper bridgining ops.....

    I unhooked the CJ pre this morning and have installed the C-16 to play with. :D:D:D:D

    Hmmm, bunch o' goodies:

    Sony :D Digital Camera ( AMEN )

    Silver Toothpick Holder ( My 2nd favorite )

    Underwear, Shirts and Socks ( AMEN )

    Infrared Measuring Tape, that thing on TV. ( Cool ) I sit 12.75 inches from the floor when taking a crap. I think that a better angle would help my intestines, perhaps I should write up a "How to Shite Efficiently" review...Hmmmm

    (2) Sharp kitchen knives, as opposed to the 100 dull ones we own :)

    Scorpion LED flashlight ( Tactical addition to the armory )

    Beer ( AMEN )

    That's just me stuff, the wife and we got some other nice items that were just as cool and appreciated.

    You know you are a happy fool, when you take a picture of bacon frying in the skillet.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The MX-500 is very cool. We've got some HT packages at work that include them. Two of them have Polk speakers (the RM7200 and an LSi package). The blue light just sucks people in....must buy.....

    Happy Holidays to all... Well Santa was pretty good to the family this year and I didn't make out to bad myself. Here is what the jolly old fella bought me.

    1 - Ryobi Speed Saw (for all the H/T I install, this will make cutting walls a breeze:D)

    2 - My Hughes E86 High Definition Receiver (received before X-mas)

    3 - A new triple LNB dish w/built-in multi-switch

    4 - A Philips TSU-3000 Proto remote w/docking station (know all I have to do is figure out how to program it to one, get me a beer and two, go to the bathroom for me:D )

    5 - My Sony DVD/SACD Player (received before X-mas also)

    6 - $300 worth of Best Buy gift cards for my DVD collection

    7 - and of course the usual assortment of pants, shirts and under clothes

    And finally the most inportant thing, I was able to spend it with my loving wife and kids and family that where all healthy and free of sickness. The most pleasing thing in my life is to see the wife and the kids face when they get up on Christmas morning to see whats under the tree. Well, hope you all have a wonderful New Year and many more to come.
