    A simple series of runic inscriptions for "caribou", "cold", "effing cold", and "effing cold, eh?".

    That's not bad -- what're 'em green things? They look -- promising.

    Nice Mac tuner/preamp hidin' back on top of some silver-faced Japanese 1970s thingies, too.

    I see a Tandberg receiver tryin' to hide behind a Yamaha CR-x40 (maybe CR-840?) receiver, too. maybe a TR2025; I can't see enough of it to tell.

    It was a 840, I've stared deep into the meters and ALMOST bought it once or twice....

    With that much beautiful gear, he should really invest in a white or black sheet tucked in a corner for photo shoots. Gear like that should stand out from the background.

    Normally he's taking pics from his bench after he finishes calibrating/upgrading/refreshing them.

    I will mention that to him though....

    I thought the tube monoblocks were Altec green, but I didn't recognize the model (believe it or not) :-p

    That's excellent!

    Our daughter & son-in-law have an animal rescue blue-tick hound dog. They say one can tell the room temperature by how tightly curled he is when he sleeps. When it's hot, he sprawls. When it's in the 60s, he's curled up to the size of a cat! :)

    It's even better to wire up a string of (series-string) filaments in series and make some festive holiday lighting ;)
