    I have around 10,000 sports cards in the garage and my closet...

    Hmm, Only about 150-200 are worth anything, amazing how it was - buying those card packs and getting NOTHING good....

    Also use to collect Pokemon cards, I have the original 150 (somewhere)...

    Transformers, I still buy some of them on occasion....I got about 150 of those

    What else have I collected....I use to collect boxes (still do in some ways ;)) - and I would make shelves, and 'dummies' out of cardboard from the boxes. I made a pretty cool shelf, It could hold quite a bit of weight actually...

    Also use to collect Legos, and matchbox cars... (destroyed the matchbox cars with a friend one day in like 1996 when we got bored...*sigh*

    Who else has these funky hobbies other than Home Audio?

    Eff you both... :p

    I sold that amp a long time ago, and dont miss it - period. It had so many problems, between the fan, over-heating, and broken connections that I had to fix...

    EFF IT!

    Please tell me you sold your Promedia decoder too. I still have mine stitting in the box it was sent to me in. I have big plans for it but I'll sell mine if you don't get rid of yours.

    How dare you part with a Soundcraftsmen amp? Tisk tisk. I'm sad but not suprised.

    Just reread the question, and since it's past tense, I actually have time to answer it...

    Owned once, but no longer...
    Garrard SL-72b TT w/ Pickering cartridge
    Lafayette Radio and Electronics' Criterion 80 speakers

    Good riddance to both... although the Pickering was kinda nice...

    Everything else, I still own....

    The reason I parted with the soundcraftsmen was because a much less powerful amp smoked it (The Adcom GFA-545)

    Powered the RTi70 to louder, cleaner levels.

    This wasnt exactly the SC's fualt though -- more so it was heating up way to much and the fan couldnt keep it cool... thats another thing... when you played it loud and the quiet parts of the music would come on...all u heard was the effing fan...that was ANNOYING

    Couldnt even push my 175 watt Def Techs either...
