Hello fellas, this does not need to be complete shot of your system. Just a shot. A glimsp of what you have.

Perfect photography is not a condition...just a shot.

What'cha'got?

    Is it OK if I didn't take the photo?
    Our son took this picture of a Valve-Art 2A3 in one of my Bottlehead Paramours many years ago -- and it is still one of my favorites.
    Those hyper-cheap Chinese-made Valve-Art tubes looked nice and (for $20 a pop, new) sounded pretty good, too.

    Haven't taken any shots of the main rig except the pics I posted of the new amp.

    Here's the office rig. Maybe some shots of the main rig later.
