    Dawg, you sure do know how to push the envelope dontcha? I was just starting to forget those images and aromas, thanks a lot! LOL

    And in addition to the great Q, that potato salad and mac 'n cheese was right up there as well.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Some pictures.

    The rigs I had set up prior to everyone descending and messing around with everything.

    My vinyl rig in the office. Totem Rainmakers on a Peachtree Nova with that Micro Seiki DD-35 turntable. The DVD player and Tuner are not hooked up.

    The "vintage rig" has a kit based 8wpc tube deal with a Carver C1 pre-amp and a dbx dx-3 cd player (Sony Discman with a line-level output was being stuck on every rig). Speakers are KLH 22's on the console stereo, KLH 17's (green paint) and Klipsh Heresys with the black grills. The console stereo is an old RCA deal.

    These are SDA 2Bs being run by the Onkyo receiver in stereo mode. Lots of different sources on here. The Sony bookshelf deals are Carl's SS-M3's and they are being powered by a NAD 902 with an Onyko P-301 pre-amp. Had everything from an Onkyo DVD player to cellphones plugged in to this.

    My main rig. Carver Amazings powered by Carver Silver 7t's with an Adcom GFP-750 pre-amp and a Denon DVD-2200. There's lots of other junk on there including the cable box and the Panny plasma. This was where Lou's LSi9's were beat up along with Phil's D-sonic amps. The LSiM703s eventually made their way in here too.

    This is yet another setup in the basement. KEF iQ9s powered by a NAD C370 stereo-integrated and a Kenwood 5+1 CD changer.

    I have a few more pictures that I have to pull off my phone but this is what I had set up prior to the chaos starting. I didn't get to take many pictures after this point because cooking. I was hoping others would take and share some so I could steal them too but apparently not.

    I'll dig the other few pictures off my phone later on.

    No photo's = no visual proof of any crimes committed.... seems like a smart move to me :smiley:

    That pic of "The Spread" speaks volumes, while at the same time keeping a couple of secrets... for instance, that innocuous looking crock-pot thingy in the back left contained some delicious sliced pork (for making Cubans, or lip gloss, either or...)
    It also does not show the two empty tins of smoked pulled pork, they were both long gone by then.
    People also have no way of knowing that the missing portions of mac 'n cheese were actually excavated on the way to the table; sheesh, can we get an order of restraint to go please? LOL

    I only took three pictures with my iPhone, because the damn shutter button didn't work too well with all the food smeared on it. :D
